No results found.Canada's food safety system operates in a multi-jurisdictional setting involving federal, provincial, territorial and municipal authorities.

It clarifies the roles of all participants in the investigation and details an integrated approach in response to n ational and regional food-borne illness outbreaks. For transboundary situations, Canada endorses and follows the Codex Guidelines for the Exchange of Information in Food Control Emergency Situations. As for domestic products, the Protocol serves as the guidance document to address a national food safety emergency involving an imported product. -
