Order Imposing Conditions in Relation to Secondary Control Zones In Respect of African Swine Fever
Description
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has implemented new import requirements for select feed ingredients imported from countries identified as posing a potential concern with respect to African Swine Fever (ASF). The identified products will require an import permit prior to importation from the specified countries and the conditions in the implementing order and the import permit will need to be met. These conditions include heat treatment and/or hold times (depending on the product in question) designed to mitigate the risk of contamination of these products with the African Swine Fever virus.
