Guide

Livestock feed requiring approval or registration: file a complete regulatory submission in My CFIA

Classify the feed, ingredient, claims and importation, choose approval or registration, then file data and label.

Priority

Modernized rules distinguish approval, registration and activity licensing. Product registration does not necessarily replace an importer or manufacturer licence.

Confirm the scope

Describe target species, category, ingredients, formulation, manufacture, claims, label, importation and intended use.

Prepare the information

Check regulatory lists to determine whether ingredient approval, product registration, a licence or an exemption applies.

Complete the process

Gather identity, animal, human and environmental safety, efficacy, analysis, stability and label data for the submission type.

Keep follow-up records

File through My CFIA, follow information requests and manage the number, renewal, amendment, traceability and preventive controls.
