Proposed amendments to the Feeds Regulations

---

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is preparing to update the Feeds Regulations, specifically Schedules IV and V and sections of the Regulations referring to these Schedules.

As part of the Agency's regulatory process, stakeholders are notified of any regulatory changes under consideration before pre-publication of proposed amendments in the Canada Gazette, Part I.

The changes to the Feeds Regulations being considered include:

• Updating Schedules IV and V to include all the new ingredients and changes to existing listed ingredients, approved since the last regulatory update; and
• Amending certain provisions in the Regulations to permit the immediate manufacture or import and sale of a new feed ingredient as a single ingredient feed, and its use in mixed feeds, once the CFIA has completed an evaluation and approval of the ingredient. This amendment would seek to bridge the period between the approval of a new feed ingredient and its incorporation into Schedule IV or V.
