The Canadian Food Inspection Agency verifies that food sold in Canada meets Health Canada’s requirements. It does this through inspection and enforcement activities. The Public Health Agency of Canada conducts national laboratory-based surveillance, coordinates national outbreak response, provides expertise to public health officials and builds capacity for responding to foodborne illness outbreaks.
