Implementation date for new policy on import of eggs and egg products

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

On March 30, 2022, the policy AHPD-DSAE-IE-2001-05 – Egg Products will be replaced by Chapter 10.12 and Annex 5 of the Terrestrial Animal Products and By-products: Import Policy Framework. Annex 5 contains an updated list of heat treatments that are acceptable for processing egg products to meet animal health import requirements. There are not expected to be any impacts on current trade as a result of implementing the new policy and annex. The Automated Import Reference System will be updated at the same time to reflect the new treatment requirements for processed eggs.

Please note that these changes will not affect requirements for any processed egg products imported from the United States.

For a list of affected commodities, please see the Notice to Industry.
