Under the Canada Agricultural Products Act, the Egg Inspection Program's mandate is to ensure that shell eggs and processed egg products leaving federally-registered establishments for interprovincial and export trade or being imported into Canada, are safe, meet standards including grading, and are packaged and labelled to avoid misleading consumers and to facilitate orderly marketing.
The CFIA inspection program for shell eggs and processed egg products is directed primarily at federally registered establishments and international trade.
The major activities undertaken by CFIA staff under this program include:
