How is the feed ban regulated?
In order to operate, renderers and feed mills must get a permit from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) every year. They only receive a permit if they are in full compliance with the regulations, which is determined through annual inspections from the CFIA. The CFIA inspects feed mills and rendering plants throughout the year on a regular basis. As well, farms are randomly inspected each year. It is illegal to sell animal feeds containing prohibited material. For more information on the Canadian BSE control and prevention system, visit the safeguards section.
