CFIA launches feed investigation

Canadian Food Inspection Agency

OTTAWA - The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has launched an investigation and is monitoring livestock movement related to non-compliant feed shipments to cattle farms in Quebec and Ontario during the past two to three weeks. The safety of the Canadian food supply is not affected.
Information provided by the supplier, Agribrands Canada Inc., indicates that a very small amount of meat and bone meal came into contact with ingredients used in the production of ruminant feed. The supplier is moving quickly to remove any feed that made its way to the farm level.
Teams of CFIA inspectors are visiting approximately 100 farms in Ontario and Quebec. As a precaution, the CFIA is identifying implicated animals and monitoring movement of all cattle and other ruminant animals exposed to the feed, pending the completion of an investigation and science-based assessment to determine the potential risk to animal health. Investigators are confirming the amount of feed that each farm received and to which animals it was fed, to indicate potential levels of exposure. This will allow for effective identification and movement control. Previous movement of animals will be verified through farmers' records.
