What is the Government of Canada doing about the safety of fresh produce?
The Government of Canada and industry work together to help identify best practices that can be used to help prevent contamination of fresh produce throughout the food system, from the field to the store. In addition, inspection and enforcement activities conducted by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency work to ensure that steps taken by producers, manufacturers and importers have been effective and that the foods available to Canadians are safe. Additional food safety information can be found on the Canadian Food Inspection Agency , Be Food Safe and Canadian Partnership for Consumer Food Safety Education Web sites.
