Brazilian MRLs are established based on scientific methodology consistent with international best practices. Countries usually set MRLs according to the Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) applicable to their region. Agricultural chemical use patterns differ between different production regions and countries as pests, diseases and environmental factors vary. This means that Brazilian MRLs for agricultural chemicals in food may differ from Codex standards. However, when a product differs from Brazilian MRLs, but is in conformity to Codex standards, it may be imported, provided that the risk assessment does not indicate an unacceptable risk to Brazilian consumers.

Susceptible Species of Aquatic Animals: CFIA is updating the Canadian Susceptible Species of Aquatic Animals list (SSL) and adding or removing the above 19 species of aquatic animals to align with recent changes to the species listed in various disease specific chapters of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) Aquatic Animal Health Code. The following 12 aquatic animal species, included in Chapters 03 and 05, will be added to CFIA's Susceptible Species of Aquatic Animals list: Cyclopterus lumpus, Gambusia holbrooki, Lampetra planeri, Melanotaenia fluviatilis, Notemigonus crysoleucas, Pungitius pungitius, Rutilus kutum, Rutilus frisii, Salmo marmoratus, Salmo obtusirostris, Sander lucioperca, and Palaemonetes pugio.

The 12 species to be added to the SSL will now require zoosanitary export certification when being exported to Canada unless the commodity is in a product form (e.g. eviscerated or head off) for human consumption end uses where certification is not required. (...)

Feeds Regulations, 2022: Feed and livestock production sectors in Canada and abroad have evolved considerably since the last comprehensive review of the Feeds Regulations, 1983, operating in an environment influenced by several changing factors such as: nutritional awareness, feed manufacturing and distribution, globalization of trade, recognition that feed is an integral component that underpins food production, heightened consumer awareness of food safety, and emergence of new pathogens and disease agents (e.g., bovine spongiform encephalopathy) .

The proposed amendments would repeal and replace the Feeds Regulations, 1983 and are required to establish a feed regulatory framework that includes hazard analysis, preventive controls, traceability, increased record-keeping requirements, and licensing. These changes would better align with international regulatory frameworks and best practices. This would enable the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and regulated sectors to better understand and manage risks that livestock feeds pose to animal health, human health and the environment, and would support proactive practices for managing those risks.
