Key Issues

Food Safety

Ensuring a safe food supply is of critical importance to researchers, producers, wholesales, retailers, governments and consumers. All stakeholders in the system value ways and means of maintaining our high standards and increasing the safety of the food we produce for Canadians and for export around the world.

This page will link to documents, issue papers, websites and information pertaining to food safety policy.
