New food safety regulations coming

Publié novembre 22, 2018

Many businesses will require a licence when the new Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR) come into force next year.

Click here to find out if your business will need a license or be required to meet other SFCR requirements by Jan. 15, 2019.

Businesses that will need a license should enrol now in My CFIA and be prepared to apply for a licence once it becomes available. Click here to learn more about My CFIA and how to enrol.

In order to apply for a licence, businesses will need to attest that they have preventive controls in place. Those who submit an SFCR licence application by email or fax will be redirected to apply online using My CFIA. The CFIA has proposed a $250 fee for the SFCR licence. This fee amount will be confirmed prior to coming into force on Jan. 15, 2019.

Click here to visit the SFCR website, where new and updated guidance documents will be posted on a regular basis to help businesses prepare for the new consolidated regulations.
