The Feed Section of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is the
Canadian regulatory authority responsible for regulation of
livestock feeds. This includes conducting environmental assessments
of all new products of biotechnology, including living modified
organisms (LMOs) as defined by the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety,
that are feeds (including novel feeds and feed ingredients).
All animate products of biotechnology, including LMOs, must be
notified to the appropriate Canadian regulatory authority and
assessed for their potential to harm the environment prior to their
import, manufacture or sale in Canada. For more information on the
Canadian regulatory framework for new substances, of which LMOs are
a subset, please follow the link below to the Government of Canada
fact sheet entitled Regulatory Roadmap for New Substances in
Canada.
