Book excerpt: The structure and allocation of responsibilities in food biotechnology regulation and then in food safety and inspection are discussed, utilizing in the latter area the provinces of Ontario and Saskatchewan as illustrative examples. [...] The national approach to regulation and the safety assessment of GM and other novel food products is based on: • the characteristics of the product • the use of science-based risk assessment, and • the protection of human health and environment meeting performance standards. [...] THE FEDERAL ROLE IN THE REGULATION OF FOOD BIOTECHNOLOGY HEALTH CANADA The responsibility for establishing science-based policies and standards pertaining to the nutritional composition, quality and safety of food, including GM foods, lies solely with Health Canada in the Food Directorate, Food Program, Health Products and Food Branch. [...] The Canadian Food Inspection Agency also has the responsibility for all federal inspection programs related to safeguarding food, plant and animal health, as well as for the enforcement and administration of many of the regulations relating to the Food and Drugs Act. [...] In the first case, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency would normally be in charge and carry out the food recall (although the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care has equal authority to issue food recalls under the Health Protection and Promotion Act).
