According to the CFIA, over 70% of food products sold in Canada are imported and most of the domestic products contain imported ingredients. Raw ingredients and food products are imported from an estimated 190 countries, which have varying levels of food safety controls. To address this and to address the rise in food safety incidences involving imported products, new regulations are being proposed for the Imported Food Sector (IFS). These new regulations will have a significant impact on any importer of non federally registered food products.
