Regulatory /

Consultant formula feeds no longer exist under the Feeds Regulations, 2024 and the one-year transition period enabling their continued use comes to an end on June 17. After almost a year of lobbying for this allowance, the CFIA advised ANAC on Friday that they will allow industry to continue to make consultant formula type feeds (i.e. mix and dilute specialty feeds for a specific customer) under an existing item in the Tables of Permissible Claims for Feed Labels.

However, since these solutions will not be implemented with adequate time for industry to adjust by June 17, the CFIA has assured ANAC that inspection flexibility will be provided in the short term.
