Government of Canada proposes new rules to strengthen food safety

The Government of Canada launched a public consultation on new rules to strengthen food safety. The proposed Safe Food for Canadians Regulations would better protect Canadian families by putting a greater emphasis on preventing food safety risks for all foods imported into Canada or sold across provinces.

The regulations would also apply to foods prepared for export.

During the 90-day consultation period, the CFIA will host a series of webinars and information sessions across Canada. View the calendar and register online.
