Canada

FSIS, in conjunction with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), initiated a comprehensive review and update of the FSIS Export Library for Canada to make it more user friendly and ensure that outdated and unclear requirements were clarified or removed, including ensuring that the Export Library accurately reflects the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations that became effective in January 2019. The changes to the export library for Canada posted March 27, 2020 should enhance the efficiency of FSIS personnel who certify the product for export, as well as those in industry producing product for the Canadian market. Please review the entirety of the updated contents before exporting.

General Information about Egg Products 

All egg products produced for export to Canada must meet applicable Canadian requirements including the standards of identity. "Processed Egg product" is defined as "a dried, frozen, or liquid food that contains at least 50 percent by weight of frozen egg, frozen egg mix, liquid egg, liquid egg mix, dried egg or dried egg mix." This includes imitation or substitute type products that contain 50 percent or more egg. Applicable Canadian laws and regulations for food of animal origin include Safe Food for Canadians Act and Regulations, Food and Drugs Act and Regulations and Health of Animals Act and Regulations. 

  1. Source of Shell Eggs Used
    1. Shell eggs used in the production of egg products for export to Canada must be from the United States or Canada, unless specific authorization is granted by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) to use eggs from another country. Additionally, product eligible for export to Canada must be processed under a HACCP system or under continuous USDA supervision. 
    2. Inspectors must determine the specific source of shell eggs when unpasteurized egg products are produced for shipment to Canada.
    3. Unpasteurized egg products produced from shell eggs from flocks identified as Salmonella enteritidis (Se) infected are not eligible to be exported to Canada. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for identification of these flocks, and will notify the appropriate District Office of the location of such flocks. The district staff will advise applicable inspection personnel of the location of such flocks.
    4. Tanker shipments of liquid eggs received from other plants for use in the production of egg products for export to Canada must: 
      1. Be accompanied by an Egg Products Export Certificate (Form FSIS 9060-5EP).
      2. State in remarks, "Only shell eggs produced in the United States (and/or Canada) were used to produce the product."
  2. Labeling

    All labels used for identification of egg products for export to Canada must meet CFIA requirements and shall bear the USDA inspection legend. Exporters are responsible for working with their importers to ensure that their labels meet the requirements listed on the CFIA Industry Labelling Tool website, including the additional specific labeling requirements for processed egg products, to prevent delays or possible rejection at the border. 

     
    1. The common name must appear on the principal display panel of prepackaged (definition) processed egg products. When a prepackaged processed egg product is manufactured or prepared from eggs of domestic turkeys or from eggs of domestic turkeys and domestic chickens, the words "Product of Turkey Eggs" / "produit d'oeufs de dinde" or "Product of Turkey Eggs and Chicken Eggs" / "produit d'oeufs de dinde et de poule", as the case may be, must appear on the label.
    2. Egg products packaged for Consumer (retail) sale as well as those distributed for institutional use must be identified with bilingual labels (English and French). An exception is provided for printing in English only within the inspection legend and the name and address of the packer or distributor on the label. 
    3. The words "Product of" / "produit de", followed by the name of the country of origin, must be declared on the label of an imported prepackaged processed egg product. This information must be shown on any part of the label except the bottom. The country of origin declaration must be shown in both official languages for consumer prepackaged products or at least one official language (i.e., English or French) for prepackaged other than consumer prepackaged products. 
    4. The packing plant number, and name and address of the U.S. packer, distributor, and the importer in Canada, must also be shown. 
    5. The Lot Code or other unique identifier is required on the label to represent information related to the manufacturing of the product for traceability purposes. For additional information, refer to the Lot code section on the Date markings and storage instructions page. 
    6. The net weight must be shown in metric units. If  the equivalent imperial units of measure (i.e. pounds/ounces) are included, they should directly follow the metric units;  e.g. "2 kg (4.4 lbs.).  Refer to the Net quantity requirements for more information, including minimum type size requirements. 
  1. Egg Products Eligible for Shipment
    1. Prior to shipment of frozen, dried, and extended shelf-life liquid egg products, product identified with an expiration or use by date, the plant must provide the FSIS inspector with a copy of the results of laboratory analyses identifying the methodology used as approved by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists for each test, showing that each lot complies with the microbiological standards specified in the applicable Canadian laws and regulations for the applicable product (see Attachment 1). Applicable Canadian laws and regulations for food of animal origin include Safe Food For Canadians Act and Regulations, Food and Drugs Act and Regulations and Health of Animals Act and Regulations. The plant must send a copy of the results of analyses for each lot with the shipment. Also, the inspector must verify the plant's records showing that each lot of liquid or frozen whole eggs (including product broken in natural proportion) contains a minimum of 24.2 percent egg solids or 43 percent for egg yolks.
    2. Production lots of pasteurized liquid egg products (other than extended shelf-life products) may be shipped prior to receipt of results for the required microbiological analyses. The FSIS inspector shall be provided a copy of the results as soon as possible following the completion of analyses. 
    3. Any production lots of pasteurized egg products that have been reprocessed are not eligible for shipment to Canada.
    4. Egg products as defined in Canada's regulations, which fail to meet the above requirements, shall not be labeled for shipment to Canada. 
  2. Processing Requirements

General Information about Egg Products 

All egg products produced for export to Canada must meet applicable Canadian requirements including the standards of identity. "Processed Egg product" is defined as "a dried, frozen, or liquid food that contains at least 50 percent by weight of frozen egg, frozen egg mix, liquid egg, liquid egg mix, dried egg or dried egg mix." This includes imitation or substitute type products that contain 50 percent or more egg. Applicable Canadian laws and regulations for food of animal origin include Safe Food for Canadians Act and Regulations, Food and Drugs Act and Regulations and Health of Animals Act and Regulations. 

  1. Source of Shell Eggs Used
    1. Shell eggs used in the production of egg products for export to Canada must be from the United States or Canada, unless specific authorization is granted by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) to use eggs from another country. Additionally, product eligible for export to Canada must be processed under a HACCP system or under continuous USDA supervision. 
    2. Inspectors must determine the specific source of shell eggs when unpasteurized egg products are produced for shipment to Canada.
    3. Unpasteurized egg products produced from shell eggs from flocks identified as Salmonella enteritidis (Se) infected are not eligible to be exported to Canada. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for identification of these flocks, and will notify the appropriate District Office of the location of such flocks. The district staff will advise applicable inspection personnel of the location of such flocks.
    4. Tanker shipments of liquid eggs received from other plants for use in the production of egg products for export to Canada must: 
      1. Be accompanied by an Egg Products Export Certificate (Form FSIS 9060-5EP).
      2. State in remarks, "Only shell eggs produced in the United States (and/or Canada) were used to produce the product."
  2. Labeling

    All labels used for identification of egg products for export to Canada must meet CFIA requirements and shall bear the USDA inspection legend. Exporters are responsible for working with their importers to ensure that their labels meet the requirements listed on the CFIA Industry Labelling Tool website, including the additional specific labeling requirements for processed egg products, to prevent delays or possible rejection at the border. 

     
    1. The common name must appear on the principal display panel of prepackaged (definition) processed egg products. When a prepackaged processed egg product is manufactured or prepared from eggs of domestic turkeys or from eggs of domestic turkeys and domestic chickens, the words "Product of Turkey Eggs" / "produit d'oeufs de dinde" or "Product of Turkey Eggs and Chicken Eggs" / "produit d'oeufs de dinde et de poule", as the case may be, must appear on the label.
    2. Egg products packaged for Consumer (retail) sale as well as those distributed for institutional use must be identified with bilingual labels (English and French). An exception is provided for printing in English only within the inspection legend and the name and address of the packer or distributor on the label. 
    3. The words "Product of" / "produit de", followed by the name of the country of origin, must be declared on the label of an imported prepackaged processed egg product. This information must be shown on any part of the label except the bottom. The country of origin declaration must be shown in both official languages for consumer prepackaged products or at least one official language (i.e., English or French) for prepackaged other than consumer prepackaged products. 
    4. The packing plant number, and name and address of the U.S. packer, distributor, and the importer in Canada, must also be shown. 
    5. The Lot Code or other unique identifier is required on the label to represent information related to the manufacturing of the product for traceability purposes. For additional information, refer to the Lot code section on the Date markings and storage instructions page. 
    6. The net weight must be shown in metric units. If  the equivalent imperial units of measure (i.e. pounds/ounces) are included, they should directly follow the metric units;  e.g. "2 kg (4.4 lbs.).  Refer to the Net quantity requirements for more information, including minimum type size requirements. 
  1. Egg Products Eligible for Shipment
    1. Prior to shipment of frozen, dried, and extended shelf-life liquid egg products, product identified with an expiration or use by date, the plant must provide the FSIS inspector with a copy of the results of laboratory analyses identifying the methodology used as approved by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists for each test, showing that each lot complies with the microbiological standards specified in the applicable Canadian laws and regulations for the applicable product (see Attachment 1). Applicable Canadian laws and regulations for food of animal origin include Safe Food For Canadians Act and Regulations, Food and Drugs Act and Regulations and Health of Animals Act and Regulations. The plant must send a copy of the results of analyses for each lot with the shipment. Also, the inspector must verify the plant's records showing that each lot of liquid or frozen whole eggs (including product broken in natural proportion) contains a minimum of 24.2 percent egg solids or 43 percent for egg yolks.
    2. Production lots of pasteurized liquid egg products (other than extended shelf-life products) may be shipped prior to receipt of results for the required microbiological analyses. The FSIS inspector shall be provided a copy of the results as soon as possible following the completion of analyses. 
    3. Any production lots of pasteurized egg products that have been reprocessed are not eligible for shipment to Canada.
    4. Egg products as defined in Canada's regulations, which fail to meet the above requirements, shall not be labeled for shipment to Canada. 
  2. Processing Requirements

    1. From time to time a plant may wish to export products to Canada as samples for testing or research purposes. Arrangements must be made in writing with the CFIA prior to the importation of such products. A letter of intent to export such products to Canada must be supplied to the CFIA Area Program Specialist. The CFIA can then verify that these products are permitted entry to Canada and arrangements can be made for an inspection and the issuance of a certificate. An Egg Products Export Certificate (9060-5EP) must accompany these samples. The CFIA must be notified prior to the shipment of the samples in the same manner described for unpasteurized or pasteurized product.

NOTE: Exporters are responsible for working with their importers to ensure that their labels meet the requirements listed on the CFIA Industry Labelling Tool website, including bilingual (English and French) requirements, to prevent delays or possible rejection at the border.

  1. General Labeling Requirements
    1. Canadian mandatory label requirements. The following information must appear on all meat and poultry labels. For products to which labels cannot be attached (e.g. bulk product), the label may be applied, attached or accompany the food.
      1. The inspection legend.
        1. Multiple marks of inspection.  The application of multiple marks of inspection on a single shipping container is not acceptable.
        2. Unstamped Product
          1. Un-stamped meat products mean that meat products do not bear the meat inspection legend directly (stamped or applied by means of a sealed bag or a breast tag) but are packaged in fully labelled shipping containers. This implies that the shipping containers are bearing all the mandatory information, including the meat inspection legend.
          2. The product is shipped in a transport container sealed with an official seal or a numbered company seal.
      2. The product name.  Information on the common name of meat products can be found at https://www.inspection.gc.ca/food/requirements-and-guidance/labelling/industry/meat-and-poultry-products/eng/1393979114983/1393979162475?chap=2
      3. The country of origin. The lettering "Product of USA” must be on the immediate container (the label containing the common name). Note: Mixed origin labeling (e.g. "Product of U.S., Canada, or Mexico") on product exported to Canada is not allowed. Imported meat is prohibited unless processed in the U.S.
      4. The net quantity of the product. Meat and poultry products must be labelled with a net quantity declaration in metric units on the principal display panel.  Dual net weights, in metric and avoirdupois, are acceptable.
      5. Allergens in the Ingredient List.  In addition to the allergens that must be declared under FSIS regulations, Canada has additional allergens that must also be declared.  A list of ingredients considered to be allergens by Canada can be found on their webpage.
      6. The storage instructions. All products that are not shelf stable must provide storage information, e.g., "Keep refrigerated" or "Keep under refrigeration" if chilled product, or "Keep frozen" if frozen product, as applicable. A container labeled both "Keep refrigerated" and "Keep frozen" is not permitted by Canada, unless used in a check-off form on a shipping container. Any meat and meat products that have been frozen and thawed prior to sale must declare the words “Previously frozen/Produit décongelé”
      7. Product must have a lot code or unique identifier.
      8. Prepackaged product (consumer-size packages) Expiration Date. Prepackaged meat products (definition) with a durable life of 90 days or less are required to be labelled with date markings and storage instructions. The words "Best Before" and "Meilleur avant" followed by the durable life date must appear on the label.
      9. If any meat or poultry product is not a ready-to-eat meat product but has the appearance of or could be mistaken for a ready-to-eat product, the meat or poultry product shall bear the following information on its label:
        1. The expression "Must Be Cooked" / "doit être cuit", "Raw Product" / "produit cru", "Uncooked" / "non cuit" or any equivalent expression, on the principal display panel and in close proximity (definition) to the common name of the product to indicate that the product requires cooking before consumption; and
        2. Comprehensive cooking instructions such as an internal temperature-time relationship that, if followed, will result in a ready-to-eat meat product.
      10. Labeling of Blade and Needle Tenderized Beef: The term "mechanically tenderized" must appear on the principal display panel (definition) in type that is as legible and prominent as the type used for the common name. "Mechanically tenderized" may be displayed as part of the common name itself.
  2. Specific Labeling Requirements
    1. Meat or Poultry Products. General labeling requirements are applicable; however,
      1. Calf/veal labels. Canada requires the word "veal" with the skeletal muscle product name instead of "calf". Exceptions: calf brain, calf heart, calf liver, calf sweetbread.
      2. Grade status of beef or poultry cuts, carcasses destined for Canada. Information on Canadian Beef or Poultry Grading can be found here: http://www.inspection.gc.ca/food/importing-food/food-specific-requirements/grade-requirements-for-imported-meat-products/eng/1336330919625/1336331235744
      3. Ground beef labeled as regular, medium, lean or extra lean may not exceed 30%, 23%, 17%, 10%, respectively, maximum fat content. Fat content percentages do not have to be declared on the label. Ground meat may be exported from the United States to Canada. The type of ground meat, i.e., regular, medium, lean or extra lean, must be identified in the product description on the export certificate.
      4. If a prepackaged or a non-prepackaged dressed or partially dressed poultry carcass, or a portion thereof, may contain kidneys or has not had the kidneys removed, the expression "May contain kidneys" / "peut contenir les reins" must be shown on the principal display panel of the label.
      5. Religious Labeling Claims
        1. Products labeled as Halal must follow the CFIA requirements for Halal Labeling
        2. Products labeled as Kosher must follow the CFIA requirements for Kosher Labeling
      6. Prepackaged, dressed, or partially dressed poultry, that is graded and packaged with giblets, must be labelled “With Giblets”
      7. Casings. Casings must either bear the mark of inspection as indicated in FSIS Directive 9000.2, Inspection and Export Certification of Livestock Intestines or Casings, or must be sealed with an official USDA seal applied to the transport vehicle or to individual barrels when exported to Canada. Tamper evident tape stamped with the USDA export stamp is an acceptable alternative to an official USDA seal. The tape must be applied in a manner that prevents the product container from being opened without tearing the tape. The product description must reflect that the casings are salted (i.e. Beef Casings, Salt Added or Salted Beef Casings).
      8. Shipment of pork meat certified free of Trichinella spiralis: When shipping pork meat certified free of Trichinella spiralis to Canada, the exporters must ensure that boxed products are stamped "Frozen for the control of Trichinella" on the main panel of each box.
  3. Bulk containers labelled with the expression “For further preparation only” or "pour conditionnement ultérieur seulement" are exempted from meeting labelling and standards of identity in the Safe Food for Canadians Act and Regulations. Products bearing this statement must meet the criteria listed under section 18 of the Safe Food for Canadians Exemptions and non-applications.

B. Where the individual stamping of the retail containers would not be practical (for example, small retail containers not containerized in larger containers, or products in tray packs), the alternative packaging procedure may be used. The alternative procedure allows the pallet to be considered as the shipping container. Details can be found on the CFIA website.

Exporters must make sure that their establishments and their meat or poultry suppliers are listed in the current FSIS Meat and Poultry Inspection Directory and on the CFIA Foreign Establishments Eligible to Export to Canada to prevent any delays in getting their certificates approved. 

Any federally inspected U.S. establishment that is not currently on the CFIA Foreign Establishments Eligible to Export to Canada list, and is interested in exporting to Canada, must submit FSIS Form 9080-3 through PHIS. Establishments that are not using PHIS must submit a fully completed (not including FSIS signatures) FSIS Form 9080-3 to the FSIS Proxy for entry into PHIS. Information on sending completed 9080-3 Forms to the FSIS Proxy is available on the FSIS Website – Export Guidance page, General Information section, Export Certification Checklist tab or by clicking here.

FSIS will certify these establishments to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) monthly, typically within the first week of every month. Only products produced and then shipped after the establishment is listed on the public CFIA Foreign Establishments Eligible To Export to Canada list will be eligible for export to Canada.

Issuance of an updated Grant of Inspection does not automatically change the establishment information on the CFIA approved plant list. When an updated Grant is issued that indicates an administrative change (name, dba, address, type of operation, or species changes), the establishment must submit a new FSIS Form 9080-3 through PHIS or to the FSIS Proxy. Contact the FSIS Import/Export Policy Development Staff (IEPDS) at (202) 720-0082 for assistance.
