WASHINGTON — As part of President Obama’s Beyond the Border (BtB) Action Plan, USDA's Food Safety & Inspection Service is working with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) to implement a joint audit process.
Specifically, under the BtB agreement, FSIS and CFIA are tasked with developing methodology and criteria for conducting audits of third countries that export meat and poultry products into Canada and the U.S.
The goal is to develop a protocol that is acceptable to both countries so that information collected by each country in the audits it performs can be shared with, and used by. . .
