Canada: Canada Updates to Import Requirements for US Natural Casings
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) have negotiated new conditions for the importation of U.S. natural casings from the United States to Canada. CFIA will provide a one-month transition period, ending May 15, 2025, during which imports will be approved by CFIA according to both the new and previous import requirements. After May 15, 2025, all U.S. natural casings exported to Canada will no longer require a letter of guarantee but must be processed in a U.S. establishment under the approved Agricultural Marketing Service Export Verification (AMS EV) Program for Canada with final processing in a CFIA approved FSIS establishment. The export certificate will be signed by a FSIS veterinarian.
