The three levels of government in Canada (federal, provincial/territorial, and municipal) all have a role in ensuring the food we eat is safe.
The federal government is responsible for setting and enforcing national food safety standards. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is the main federal agency responsible for food safety in Canada. The CFIA works with other federal agencies, such as Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada, to protect the food supply.
Provincial and territorial governments are responsible for inspecting food sold within their jurisdictions. They also work with the CFIA to enforce national food safety standards. Each province and territory has its own laws and regulations related to food safety.
Municipal governments are responsible for inspecting food sold within their jurisdictions. They also work with the CFIA to enforce national food safety standards. Each municipality has its own laws and regulations related to food safety.
The three levels of government in Canada work together to ensure the food we eat is safe. By working together, we can all help to keep our food supply safe.
