Office of the Chief
Veterinarian
|
|
The Office of the Chief
Veterinarian safeguards the health of animals and humans by
addressing animal health and welfare issues that could have an impact on
humans through the contamination of food and ensures the safety and
security of the food supply. Food safety programs
developed by the CVO/Food Safety Knowledge Centre promote both on-farm and post-farm food safety
standards and practices. The Chief Veterinarian, in collaboration
with other
government departments, is responsible for the planning, prevention,
and detection
of animal and food safety emergencies. |
