In January 2015, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced that it would take the necessary time to analyze the broad range of comments received from stakeholders on the development of the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations.
The CFIA remains committed to strengthening Canada’s world-class food safety system. To supplement its extensive consultations with industry and other stakeholders in 2013 and 2014, the CFIA is engaging more micro and small businesses (MSBs) which are in the food supply chain across Canada. These consultations will help the CFIA to better understand the food safety challenges that MSBs face, and to seek feedback on options that could reduce the burden associated with some requirements being considered.
As part of its current food safety consultation with micro and small businesses, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) will host a number of webinars and face-to-face discussion sessions across Canada.
In May and June of 2015, the CFIA will host a number of webinars and in-person sessions across Canada tailored to MSBs. The CFIA is also interested in hearing specifically from MSBs on the types of tools, guidance resources and support that would assist them in producing safe and compliant food.
