Import Directive for Highly Processed Products

Product Image

Distribution date: 28 November 2008 | Final date for Comment: 27 January 2009

The changes to the Highly Processed Products Directive were put in place to reflect Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Health Canada legislative and policy requirements for removal of specified risk material (SRM) from all cattle at slaughter. SRM refers to any of the skull, brain, trigeminal ganglia, eyes, tonsils, spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia of cattle aged 30 months or older; and the distal ileum of cattle of all ages. All removed SRM are to be diverted away from the products for human consumption and animal food supply. The requirement to remove all SRM from cattle does not apply to products originating from a country that is designated as having negligible risk of BSE. The changes are also made in light of the recognition of the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) status of OIE members, where a number of countries have recently been reclassified from negligible to controlled risk for BSE in accordance with the updated Terrestrial Animal Health Code (27 May 2008) of the OIE.

Products Covered: Highly processed products of animal origin (e.g. gelatine) (ICS Codes 65.020, 67.040)
