Canadian Food Inspection Agency
The 2009 United States Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection Service audit found that the frequency of inspections in Canada’s federally registered meat processing plants was not equivalent to the frequency of inspections in American Plants. Canada subsequently adopted daily shift inspection presence in order to meet U.S. standards for import of processed meat products. HAL is evaluating the Daily Shift Inspection Presence (DSIP) initiative in order to inform its potential renewal.
