Foods and beverages affected by changes to animal health policy for milk imports

The following is provided by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA)

We are continuing with publishing the updates to import conditions for foods and beverages with milk ingredients. However, due to IT limitations we will be unable to publish all the changes simultaneously on February 2, 2021 as previously planned. Instead, the changes will be published gradually between February 2 and March 2, 2021.

There will be a transition period until May 3, 2021 where commodities may be imported using either the old or new conditions.
