What Canada Feeds Act: Registration, Standards and Safety of Livestock Feeds requires
The Feeds Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. F-9) regulates the manufacture, sale and import of livestock feeds in Canada, administered by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). Section 2 defines 'feed' (a substance or mixture of substances containing amino acids, anti-oxidants, carbohydrates, condiments, enzymes, fats, minerals, non-protein nitrogen products, proteins or vitamins, manufactured, sold or represented for consumption by livestock, for their nutritional requirements, or for preventing or correcting nutritional disorders), 'sell' (including to agree to sell, offer or expose for sale, possess for sale or distribute), 'package' and 'label'. Section 3 sets the core prohibition: no person shall manufacture, sell or import a feed unless it has been approved by the Minister or registered in accordance with the regulations, conforms to prescribed standards, and is packaged and labelled in accordance with the regulations; section 3(3) further prohibits manufacturing, selling, importing or exporting a feed that presents a risk of harm to human or animal health or the environment. The Governor in Council may make regulations respecting applications, registration, approval, standards, packaging, labelling, sampling and analysis (section 5). Inspectors may enter any place, open packages, examine feed and take samples, and require the production of records, shipping bills and documents (sections 6-7); section 8 prohibits obstructing or hindering an inspector and making false or misleading statements. Inspectors may seize articles where a contravention is suspected, and on conviction or a finding of violation the articles may be forfeited to His Majesty (section 9). Offences are punishable on summary conviction by a fine not exceeding $50,000 or imprisonment for up to six months, or both, and on indictment by a fine not exceeding $250,000 or imprisonment for up to two years, or both (section 10).
