Through the Agricultural Policy Framework, the Government of Canada is committed to ensuring that food produced in Canada continues to be among the safest and highest-quality in the world. Canada is putting in place national, seamless food safety systems on the farm and throughout the agri-food chain - from the field to the fork.

The Government of Canada is working with farmers and the industry to build on existing food safety measures while undertaking new measures to enable the tracing of food products back to the farm, improve food quality and share critical information. These measures will improve the sector's ability to identify and respond to food safety issues and concerns, while improving market access and opportunities for the sector.
