AMI Submits Comments to CFIA Regarding Proposed Feed Ban Enhancements

US - The American Meat Institute (AMI) filed comments to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) today requesting that the Agency rethink its proposal to remove specified risk material (SRM) from all animal feed as an enhancement to Canada's existing feed ban. AMI maintains that such regulations are not justified. Changes to the Canadian regulation would also disturb the balance of the North American BSE prevention measures that are in place.
