Proposed changes to the Feeds Regulations: Closed consultation

Current status: Closed

The initial 90-day consultation period ran from June 12 to September 10, but was extended by 35 days until October 15, 2021.

As part of the process to modernize the feed regulations, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) sought feedback on proposed changes to the Feeds Regulations, 1983, in the Canada Gazette, Part I.

The proposed amendments would be a major update to the federal Feeds Regulations, 1983, that will more effectively manage risks that livestock feeds pose to animal health, human health and the environment, reflect international standards and keep up with industry innovation, science and technology.

Overall, safe feeds contribute to the production of healthy livestock and safe foods of animal origin for consumers. The CFIA verifies that livestock feeds manufactured, sold or imported in Canada are safe for animal health, comply with federal standards and are safe for livestock that will be used for human consumption (for example, meat, milk and eggs).
