Changes to the process for requesting marine biotoxin testing in shellfish

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has a new process to request marine biotoxin testing for shellfish. The Request for an Inspection of Fish Form (CFIA/ACIA 2003/05) will no longer be accepted for marine biotoxin testing requests.

Before you can request testing from a CFIA laboratory, you must sign a service agreement and arrange for credit privileges. This new web page outlines how to request marine biotoxin testing for shellfish from CFIA laboratories.
