Streamlined Approvals for Category 1 Feed Registrations

FEED INDUSTRY

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and the feed industry continue to seek ways to streamline processes to help reduce the total time required to approve feed products requiring registration. To this end, the CFIA will now be accepting applications for Category 1 feed registrations through a streamlined process. Detailed information on this new process can be found on the CFIA website.

Frequently Asked Questions

If my registration application has already been submitted, what is the process if I would like to move it to the streamlined process?

For Category 1 applications already in the queue, applicants who choose to transition to the streamlined process must submit the required streamline documents to PASO excluding the application form and the fee as these would already be with the original application. The applicant must also include their file reference number(s) that were provided to them when the application(s) were originally accepted. When received, the affected applications will be moved from the normal queue to the streamlined evaluation. If there is no file reference number provided, the applications will be treated as new submissions.
