United 
Kingdom  All Members  SPS 09/10/2023   Retained Regulation 2019/1793 sets rules 
concerning the temporary increase of official 
controls applicable to certain food and feed of non -
animal origin entering Great Britain from the 
countries listed in that Regulation. This is due to 
the risk of contamination by aflatoxins, pesticide 
residues, dyes, preservatives, pentachlorophenol 
and dioxins by microbiological contamination.  
The proposed changes listed below have be en 
subject to an assessment of the risks, by the FSA 
and FSS, and are science and evidence based.  
It is proposed that the notified document (the 
Regulation) amends Annexes 1, and 2 to Retained 
Regulation 2019/1793 . … (HS code(s): 1207 70)  G/SPS/N/GBR/44  
Switzerland  All Members  TBT 6/10/2023   According to the Swiss regulation, the origin of the 
main ingredient is only required if it is present in 
significant quantities and if otherwise the 
consumer could be misled about the true origin of 
this ingredient. The proposed regulation aims to 
reduce barriers to trade by permitting the 
indication of larger geographical areas (e.g. "EU") 
as indication of origin. However, this regulation 
applies to voluntary indications only.  
Alignment  of the relevant Swiss Ordinance 
Annex  14 covering health claims to Commission 
Regulation (EU) No 432/2012 of 16 May 2012 
establishing a list of permitted health claims made 
on food products, other than those referring to the

New Zealand  All Members  TBT 02/10/2023   Medicinal cannabis products supplied in New 
Zealand are required to meet the labelling 
requirements outlined in regulation 19 of the 
Misuse of Drugs (Medicinal Cannabis) Regulations 
2019. The Ministry of Health is proposing a 
technical amendment to regulation 19 to add a 
reference to the requirement  for medicinal 
cannabis products to display a controlled drug 
classification statement on the label to align with 
the labelling of all other controlled drugs supplied 
as medicines in New Zealand. This requirement  is 
already in place and enforced under the Misuse of 
Drugs Regulations 1977. The proposed change is a 
clarifying amendment and not a substantive Medicinal cannabis, including products 
under HS Chapter 12 and 29.  G/TBT/N/NZL/129

Canada  All Members  SPS 26/09/2023   The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has

While the majority of the requirements outlined in
