News Release from Canadian Food Inspection Agency<\/h2>\n

Government of Canada announces new Administrative Monetary Penalties for companies that break federal food safety rules<\/h3>\n

May 1, 2019 \u2013 Ottawa, Ontario<\/p>\n

\n
\n

The Government of Canada is committed to maintaining a strong food safety system.\u00a0Today, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced that Administrative Monetary Penalties (AMPs) of up to $15,000 can now be issued for violations by food businesses that threaten food safety and market access for Canadian goods.<\/p>\n

AMPs are an additional option CFIA can use to address violations under federal regulations. By expanding the use of AMPs across all food sectors, the CFIA will now have a consistent and comprehensive set of tools to enforce compliance with the requirements for all food in Canada.<\/p>\n

The amendments to the Agriculture and Agri-Food Administrative Monetary Penalties Regulations<\/em> (AAAMPR) were published today in Canada Gazette<\/em> Part II and are now in force. These apply to both businesses and individuals.<\/p>\n

The introduction of AMPs for all food sectors follows the January 2019 coming into force of the Safe Food for Canadians Act<\/em> along with the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations<\/em>, which consolidated 14 regulations into a single set of consistent requirements for all food businesses.<\/p>\n
