Infographic: The Importer Risk Assessment model at a glance

The Importer Risk Assessment (IRA) model is being developed by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) following the same scientific and transparent approach as the one used for the Establishment-based Risk Assessment models (ERA-Food, ERA- Hatchery, ERA-Feed Mill, and ERA-Renderer). The IRA model will be used to assess importers licensed under the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations that bring food products to be sold in their imported condition.
