Product of Canada, eh?
Some more detail about fish inspection
Many of you have posted comments asking questions about specific fish processors. Here's a little more detail.
There are between 20 and 30 companies on the enhanced importers list in Canada, including High Liner. These companies do their own inspections and are audited by the CFIA. Under the Quality Management Program for Importers (QMPI), importers must inspect the products they import following procedures and standards that are at least equivalent to the ones used by the CFIA. This means that these importers have to follow, as a minimum, the inspection frequencies set by the CFIA, such as 100% hold and test for products on the Import Alert List and for products targeted by special surveillance programs (e.g. aquaculture finfish from China and Vietnam).
Thanks for your comments, and thanks for watching!
