Eggs and Egg Products
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) regulates shell eggs and processed egg
products leaving federally inspected establishments or being imported into Canada. The CFIA
verifies they are safe, wholesome and graded according to established standards. The
Agency also verifies they are labelled to avoid misleading consumers and facilitate
orderly marketing.
CFIA activities include:
- registration of egg grading stations and manufacturers of prepared egg products;
- inspection and certification of domestically produced egg products, and exports;
- residue testing;
- retail inspection including
enforcing label regulations at retail;
- policy and program development for food
labelling and label verification; and
- verifying that food advertising complies with requirements.
