In Canada, different government bodies work together to ensure the safety and quality of food through regulations and guidelines. Health Canada sets standards for food safety and inspection, while the Canadian Food Inspection Agency also plays a role. The regulations include microbiological standards to protect consumers. Guidelines come in three forms: microbiological guidelines, Codes of Hygienic Practice, and Manual of Procedures. Health Canada is the main federal body responsible for setting food standards and policies to keep food safe for everyone.
