Regulations Amending the Food and Drug Regulations (Food Irradiation)

Regular notification 2017-02-16
G/SPS/N/CAN/1091

Description

The proposed amendments would enable regulations that allow, but not require, the beef industry to use irradiation as an additional tool to improve the safety of its products. Like all other irradiated foods, irradiated ground beef would need to be clearly labelled as such.
