The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) launched a public consultation on proposed amendments to the Agriculture and Agri-Food Administrative Monetary Penalties Regulations, which would allow Administrative Monetary Penalties (AMPs) to be issued to food businesses who do not comply with certain provisions of the Safe Food for Canadians Act and proposed Safe Food for Canadians Regulations.
During the 60-day consultation period, the CFIA will host webinars to help food businesses understand the role that AMPs will play as an additional enforcement response within the Agency’s compliance continuum.
