The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has developed an Establishment-based Risk Assessment model for feed mills (ERA-Feed Mill model). Beginning in the 2023-2024 fiscal year, the new model will be used, along with other factors, to inform where inspectors should spend time and to help focus program planning on areas of highest risk.
