Concerned about “a move away from science-based decision making,” the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has quietly struck a “US Risk Task Team”
Canada is creating a task force to monitor the safety of U.S. food imports after RFK Jr. cut 3,500 FDA staff. Weaker U.S. standards require increased monitoring and diligence for Canada, generating trade barriers and consumer distrust, resulting in economic damage for U.S. producers and farmers.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has established a 'U.S. Risk Task Team' to monitor the impact of regulatory changes and staff cuts at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on food imports, concerned about increased risks such as contamination and disease, and potential economic damage. The task force aims to identify critical programs and risks, gather information, and take regulatory action when necessary, as the U.S. moves away from science-based decision-making and reduces its regulatory workforce.
