Food businesses that import or prepare food for export from Canada will be required to follow new rules designed to remove unsafe food from the marketplace faster and stop the spread of disease, starting yesterday. The new Safe Foods for Canadians Regulations(SFCR), effective Jan. 15, cover a wide range of food safety-related efforts from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), including licensing, labeling standards, rules enforcement and new recall protocols. The program launch also includes CFIA-developed educational efforts such as online videos covering the new rules, documents outlining fee changes, an online glossary of key terms and a downloadable handbook for businesses seeking additional information about SFCR.
