Reasons for disposal
Food products can be seized, detained or disposed of for a number of reasons, such as:
- biological hazard (for example, such as E. coli, Listeria)
- chemical hazard (for example marine biotoxin, drug residue, allergen, non-permitted fortification / ingredient / additive, heavy metal)
- physical hazard (foreign objects in food such as metal shavings or a needle)
- other non-compliances with legislations, for example, inaccurate or misleading labelling, compromised container integrity, short net weight, lack of proper documentation
All listed food products have been removed from the food supply in a safe manner, thereby preventing their entry into the Canadian marketplace.
The CFIA has the authority to seize, detain, or dispose of products through the Canada Agricultural Products Act (CAPA), Food and Drugs Act (FDA), Meat Inspection Act (MIA) and Fish Inspection Act (FIA).
