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.
