The CFIA is responsible for the enforcement of the regulations relating to the labelling of irradiated food products under the Food and Drug Act. The CFIA establishes inspection and testing programs to verify compliance by both domestic producers and importers. Irradiated foods that have not been approved for sale in Canada are not permitted entry, and the CFIA takes appropriate action if such products are illegally imported.
