Canada  All Members  SPS 18/01/2024   The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has 
recently completed a review of grain and seed import 
requirements. As a result, the CFIA has revised plant 
health policy directive, D -96-07: Phytosanitary Import 
Requirements for Screenings, and Grain and Seed for 
Cleaning.  While the majority of the requirements 
outlined in di rective D -96-07 remain consistent with 
current import requirements, the CFIA is removing the 
prohibition for seed or grain to be cleaned in Canada 
when the material originates from outside North 
America. The proposed directive can be accessed on 
WTO platfo rm. The list of updates and superseded 
policies can be found on page 1 of the document.  …; 12 - OIL SEEDS AND

for the final rule that appeared in the Federal Register of 
9 August 2023. The direct final rule amends our 
regulations to no longer provide for the use of partially 
hydrogenated oils (PHOs) in food given our 
determination that PHOs are no longer generally 
recognized as safe  (GRAS). The rule also revokes prior 
sanctions (i.e., pre -1958 authorization of certain uses) 
for the use of PHOs in margarine, shortening, and bread, 
rolls, and buns based on our conclusion that these uses 
of PHOs may be injurious to health. This document
