Non-federally Registered Sector

Subscribe to: E-mail Notification Services

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency enforces the safety and nutritional quality provisions of the Food and Drugs Act (FDA).

The non-federally registered sector covers a wide range of products, including infant foods, alcoholic beverages, bakery products, and cereal products. These foods may be traded intra-provincially, inter-provincially, or imported. The jurisdiction for inspection of non-federally registered foods is shared between the CFIA and provincial/ territorial governments because the sector also includes a large variety of foods that are traded solely intra-provincially.
