Regulatory

Companies are required to submit data to the Federal Plastics Registry (FPR) on the quantity and types of plastic they put on the Canadian market. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) recently published the Guide for Reporting to the Federal Plastics Registry – Phase 1 to support stakeholders in meeting their reporting requirements.

In December, the Government of Canada published proposed amendments to the Accessible Canada Regulations (ACRs) in Canada Gazette, Part I (CGI). These amendments would introduce a new part titled “Information and Communication Technologies” that would set out new requirements for both public and private sector federally regulated organizations, (including feed mills).

The CFIA has shared with ANAC the complete renewal package for products due for renewal on March 31, 2025.

During the Regulatory Roadshow Workshops, ANAC provided attendees with CFIA’s Feed Label Verification Tool. This tool has now been revised and a new version is available to all ANAC members to download.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has requested ANAC’s support to review the French names for single ingredient feeds before they are released for consultation. If you are fluent in French and interested in participating in this initiative, please contact Raja Bella (rbella@anacan.org).

Accessibility Standards Canada (ASC) recently announced the release of the CAN/ASC-1.1:2024 – Employment standard, which sets best practices for accessible employment. This equity-based standard has been officially approved as a National Standard of Canada by the Standards Council of Canada.
