How do Canadian Food Regulations differ from the US?
Canadian Food Regulations differ significantly from food regulations in the United States. Food is regulated by separate governing agencies in both countries; the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) in Canada and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the US. Moreover, variations in the established Acts and Regulations result in discrepancies in food ingredient acceptability.
