The Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and the Minister of Health recently announced the launch of a five-year review Review of the Safe Food for Canadians Act SFCA and the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations SFCR, which came fully into force on January 15, 2019. The SFCA covers a broad range of aspects relating to food and beverage safety, including grade standards, labeling and advertising, import/export and inter-provincial trade, inspection and licencing requirements for specific activities. The Review is mandated under Section 68 of the SFCA and will examine the provisions and past five years of operation of the SFCA and SFCR to determine if the legislative framework meets its objectives and if not, to assess what improvements or changes may be required.
