Ag societies worried about proposed new CFIA rules on traceability

LETHBRIDGE, AB – The Alberta Association of Agricultural Societies said it has some concerns about proposed new traceability rules from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).

These new rules would impact things like livestock shows and rodeos.

The CFIA wants fairgrounds to be responsible as an intermediary site for recording animal and carcass movements.

The new rules would also require intermediary sites to put a new, approved tag on animals.
