All food importers may soon have to be licensed


The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced last Friday that it plans to develop new regulations that would require food importers to be licensed and have measures in place to keep unsafe food out of the Canadian marketplace.

The proposed regulations would include a range of tools and streamlined processes to help importers, particularly small enterprises, transition to the new requirements. A user fee is being proposed to recover the cost of issuing the import licences.

The CFIA welcomes input from all levels of industry and the public as it develops the new regulations.
