Background
The CFIA plays a key role in maintaining Canada's food safety system. But the world in which the CFIA operates is changing and the CFIA needs to change with it. Canada has one of the best food inspection systems in the world. The intent of inspection modernization is to build on this strong foundation, and to be flexible and able to adapt to emerging global and scientific trends.
The implementation of an Improved Food Inspection Model supported by integrated IM/IT solutions will allow the Agency to move away from an approach where an establishment may experience a number of visits by several different CFIA inspectors to that of a streamlined system where one inspector or a specialized audit team would have the ability to provide inspections across multiple food commodities. The improved model will balance visual inspection while verification of industry compliance through evaluation of records and control systems. As well, the CFIA's operating environment has become more complex due to increasing export volumes, security needs and documentation demands. As a result, the demand to automate and offer services electronically is increasing domestically and internationally. Electronic service delivery of export certificates is viewed as a natural progression from paper-based systems by both Industry and International Trading Partners. Both the Improved Food Inspection Model (IFIM) and Electronic Service Delivery Platform (ESDP) are major components of the broader CFIA initiative to improve and modernize food safety inspection in Canada. The objectives of both IFIM and ESDP are to apply an enterprise-based approach to streamline internal processes, improve internal Agency efficiencies and provide a technology alternative to a paper-based system.
