  • The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is responsible for the overseeing of food, animals, and plants[1]. The CFIA also are concerned with the health and well-being of Canadians, the economy and the environment[1]. The health and safety of Canadians is top priority for the CFIA which is why they collaborate with industry, consumers, federal, provincial, and municipal organizations in efforts to try to protect Canadians from food related health-risks and diseases[1]. The CFIA website also includes a list of recalls from items that could potentially cause health-risks and diseases to Canadians. The CFIA is also transparent with its information, data, reports, and publications to Canadian citizens[1].
  • The CFIA are also fair, strategic, consistent, and transparent in their approach regarding the enforcement of policies to ensure that the delivery of its mandate is effective[2]. There are three policy objectives: increased awareness of compliance and enforcement by the CFIA[2], consistent implementation of regulatory control and enforcement of the procedures set by the CFIA[2], and increased compliance by the regulated parties to the legislation managed by the CFIA[2]. The CFIA has a variety of acts and regulations such as: the Agriculture and Agri-Food Administrative Monetary Penalties Act[3], Canadian Food Inspection Agency Act[3], Feeds Act[3], Fertilizers Act[3], Food and Drugs Act[3], Health of Animals Act[3], Plant Breeders' Rights Act[3], Plant Protection Act[3], Safe Food for Canadians Act[3], and the Seeds Act[3].
