• The CFIA administers and enforces 13 Acts governing food safety and food inspection within Canada and at our borders. • CFIA inspectors monitor food processing in federally registered slaughtering and processing establishments. • CFIA inspectors also check packaging dates and labels in retail stores. • CFIA laboratories continue to develop quick, cost-effective tests to better detect new and existing pathogens in foods and their manufacturing processes. • In cooperation with the food industry, the CFIA is moving towards a modernised, science-based inspection system. For more information on foodborne illness and safe food handling practices, visit the Canadian Food Inspection Agency website at www.inspection.gc.ca.
