The Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s (CFIA) public consultation for proposed Safe Food for Canadians Regulations is coming to a close. The opportunity to share your comments on the draft regulations posted in the Canada Gazette, Part I, closes on April 21st, 2017. CFIA has hosted in-person and web-based information sessions across the country in February and March 2017. The sessions provided an overview on background information and key facts about the proposed regulations; a review of what the regulations would mean to consumers, food importers, and businesses that prepare food for export or trade across provinces; question and answers sessions; and finally, instructions on how to participate and provide your comments during the consultation.
