CFIA amends the Safe Food Regulations to improve domestic trade for the city of Lloydminster
Canada
Nov 29, 2024
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) published updated regulations that address the unique food trade barriers in Lloydminster, a city that spans both the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Changes to the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR) now exempt Alberta and Saskatchewan food businesses from the federal interprovincial trade requirements when preparing and trading food to or within Lloydminster. For example, a retailer in Lloydminster, Alberta, selling agricultural products and prepared foods like sandwiches, previously could not sell to stores just meters away in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, without a Safe Food for Canadians licence.
