Under the Canada Agricultural Products Act, the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) ensures that fresh produce imported, exported and marketed domestically under federal standards is safe, meets standards, and is packaged and labelled to avoid fraud and marketed in an orderly fashion.
The international and interprovincial trade of fresh fruit and vegetables, including fresh-cut products is regulated under this program.
The major activities undertaken by CFIA staff under this program include:
