Overview
The Food Safety Division of Alberta Agriculture, Food and Rural Development was formed in March of 1999 to pro-actively address food safety and market access issues. The division is made up of the Office of the Chief Provincial Veterinarian, Agri-Food Laboratories Branch, and the Agri-Food Systems Branch.
Food Safety Division staff work together in the areas of food safety and animal health surveillance. They also work together in various scientific fields to enhance the safety of Alberta's food and increase consumer confidence. This also means working in partnership with industry and other public bodies.
