BC Vibrio Environmental Indicator Stations Data 1998-2013

​In 1998, following an outbreak of Vibrio parahaemolyticus (Vp) linked to BC oysters, a BC risk reduction strategy was implemented.  As part of the strategy, the CFIA established environmental Vp indicator stations, which were used to assist the shellfish industry in determining the timeframe of the Vp season in B.C., by indicating when and to what extent the hazard of Vp was present in a particular location.  As soon as the nearest CFIA environmental indicator station for an area showed Vp levels greater than 100 MPN/g, processors intending to harvest or buy oyster shellstock from the affected area were required to ensure Vp-specific control measures were in place to provide reasonable assurance that the product would meet food safety guidelines.    Sampling began at indicator stations in early May until the end of the Vp season (which was defined as when a site showed two consecutive weeks of Vp results under 3 MPN/g in September/October).  This risk reduction strategy was in place from 1998 through 2013. A nationwide modernized Vp approach was implemented in 2014, at which time the CFIA's Vp indicator stations were discontinued.   

This dataset represents the information collected and generated by the CFIA from the environmental indicator stations.  Where data for a particular field was not provided/collected for a sample, this is denoted as Not Available (N/A) within the data set.

Food Colours in Essences/flavourings, oils, sweets and processed vegetables - April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019

Food colours are routinely added to foods and beverages for a variety of reasons, including to compensate for the loss of natural colour caused by processing conditions, and to meet consumer expectations by making the food more appealing and appetizing by enhancing the colour or making it more uniform. 

This targeted survey generated further baseline surveillance data on the occurrence of food colours in domestic and imported products on the Canadian market. A total of 399 samples of essences/flavourings, oils, sweets, and processed vegetables were collected and tested for up to 43 different food colour additives. Artificial food colours were not detected in 218 (55%) of the samples tested. Food colours at levels exceeding the maximum level of use were detected in 3 of the samples. A non-permitted food colour was found in 1 sample, and only 1 sample contained permitted food colours/levels without a declaration of use in the list of ingredients. When compared to previous survey years, these results show a similar detection rate and compliance (98.7%) rate.

Bisphenol A and BPA Alternatives in Selected Canned Foods and Infant Formula - April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019

​Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical used to make Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE) epoxy resins and hard plastic containers. Its use in the food industry is common, as BADGE epoxy resins are often coated on the inside of cans to prevent direct contact between the food and the metal. These compounds can migrate into food, particularly at elevated temperatures (for example, in hot-filled or heat-processed canned foods). To prevent these adverse health effects of these componds, some manufacturers have turned to BPA alternatives such as Bisphenol F (BPF) and Bisphenol S (BPS). Limited data is available concerning the use of BPA alternatives in canned and bottled foods, therefore they were included in this survey.

A total of 381 samples were collected from retail stores in 6 cities across Canada. The samples collected included coconut milk, pie filling, and tomato-based sauces stored in cans, as well as infant formulas stored in cans and plastic containers. BPA was detected in 43% of the survey samples and BADGE was detected in 12%. No samples had detected levels of BPF or BPS.

Multi-Mycotoxins in Corn Products, Crackers, Other Grain Products, Pasta and Gluten-Free Products - April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019

The main objectives of this targeted survey were to expand baseline data on the presence and levels of mycotoxins in corn products, crackers, other grain (non-staple) products, pasta and gluten-free products; and to compare these results to other data, where feasible. Mycotoxins are natural toxins released by moulds that infect agricultural crops before and after harvest. Their human health effects are varied; the health effects depend on the type and level of mycotoxin in the food. Canada does not have maximum levels for the mycotoxins in the products targeted in this survey, with the exception of ochratoxin A (OTA), for which Canada has proposed maximum levels in certain foods. 

A total of 750 samples corn and pasta products, crackers, gluten-free and other grain products were analyzed for the presence of mycotoxins. Mycotoxins were detected in 388 samples (52%). A total of 17 different mycotoxins were detected in the product types sampled by this survey. Aflatoxin G2, 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol (3-Ac-DON), 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol (15-Ac-DON), neosolaniol (NEO), diacetoxyscirpenol (DAS), fusarenone-X (FUS-X), alpha-zeranol, and beta-zeranol were not detected in any of the samples. The mycotoxin detected most frequently was deoxynivalenol (DON) in a total of 306 samples (41%).

Toxic Metals in Selected Foods - April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019

Metals are naturally-occurring elements that may be present in very low amounts in rock, water, soil, or air. Finding these substances in food products is not unexpected as trace levels generally reflect normal accumulation from the environment. They may be present in finished foods due to their presence in the ingredients used to manufacture those foods, and/or may be unintentionally incorporated along the food production chain. Metals of highest concern to human health include arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury and these have been shown to have effects on human health following long term exposure. 

The main objectives of this targeted survey were to generate additional baseline surveillance data on the level of metals in foods not routinely monitored under other CFIA programs, and to compare, the detection rate of metals in foods in this survey with that of previous targeted surveys.

CFIA 2015/2016 Deoxynivalenol in Selected Foods Data

Targeted surveys are used by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) to focus its surveillance activities on areas of highest health risk.  The information gained from these surveys provides support for the allocation and prioritization of the Agency’s activities to areas of greater concern.  Originally started as a project under the Food Safety Action Plan (FSAP), targeted surveys have been embedded in the CFIA’s regular surveillance activities since 2013.  Targeted surveys are a valuable tool for generating information on certain hazards in foods, identifying and characterizing new and emerging hazards, informing trend analysis, prompting and refining health risk assessments, highlighting potential contamination issues, as well as assessing and promoting compliance with Canadian regulations.

Municipal boundaries as of 1996

An upper-tier municipality is made up of 2 or more lower-tier municipalities. Municipal responsibilities set out under the Municipal Act and other Provincial legislation are split between the upper-tier and lower-tier municipalities. A lower-tier municipality forms part of an upper-tier municipality. Municipal responsibilities set out under the Municipal Act and other Provincial legislation are split between the upper-tier and lower-tier municipalities. A single-tier municipality doesn't form part of an upper-tier municipality and assumes all municipal responsibilities set out under the Municipal Act and other Provincial legislation. Territorial districts are geographic areas in northern Ontario. They are described in the Territorial Division Act, and are composed of municipalities, geographic townships and un-surveyed territory.
