There are 3 levels of food safety laws in Canada:
- Federal
- Provincial(Ontario)
- Municipal
1️⃣ Federal Level
- Covers all of Canada
- At the federal level, food regulation covers all of Canada and focuses on food that crosses provincial or international borders, including manufacturing, importing, and exporting, with the main responsibility of enforcing national food safety standards and regulations.
2️⃣ Provincial Level
- Each province has its own food laws
- At the provincial level, each province regulates food premises and restaurants, sets food handling rules and food safety training requirements, with examples including Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia having their own food safety regulations.
3️⃣ Municipal Level
- Cities and local governments
- At the municipal level, cities and local governments are responsible for food inspections, health inspections, by-laws, and enforcement, usually carried out by public health units and local health inspectors.
Who actually comes to inspect your restaurant?: Municipal / Local Public Health

There are few federal agencies in food safety :
1️⃣ Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA)
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) inspects federally registered food facilities, regulates food manufacturing and processing including importing and exporting, approves packaging, labelling, ingredients and allergen warnings, and issues recalls to remove unsafe food from shelves.
If you want to start a food business, the CFIA website is where you check product requirements, labels, ingredients, and required warnings.
A food recall happens when food contains unsafe bacteria, an undeclared allergen, or chemicals or substances above safe levels, and the CFIA decides and announces these recalls across Canada.
2️⃣ Health Canada
What Health Canada Does:
Health Canada creates food safety policies and standards, establishes safety criteria, and decides what is safe for human consumption and the acceptable limits of substances in food, but it does not inspect restaurants.

4️⃣ Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC)
