Food safety matters to every Canadian. World Food Safety Day 2026 theme is “From burden to solutions”. Canada’s food system is strong, built on science and collaboration. Health Canada sets standards; CFIA enforces via checks, tests.
CFIA tests tens of thousands of foods yearly. High compliance rates seen. Does ~2,800 investigations annually. Oversees recalls when unsafe food found.
Preventing illness needs shared work. CFIA helps businesses. Canadians stay informed, report, handle food safely. Food safety ties to security and economy.
Reaffirm commitment to use science, data, collaboration for safe food. Author bio: Jonathan Vance, lead focus editor for an independent overseas public affairs weekly
