CFIA delays new labelling requirements for bulk fertilizer until 2027
"Between now and the fall, Fertilizer Canada will work in collaboration with officials to align regulatory practices and enforcement with the operational realities of the fertilizer supply chain."
"The CFIA is committed to providing Canadian farmers with access to safe fertilizers needed to grow crops that feed Canadians and help drive Canada's economy."
"The CFIA says its inspectors will continue to verify compliance and will notify the responsible party in cases where there is non-compliance with label requirements, as long as there is no safety issue."
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has postponed the implementation of new labelling requirements for bulk fertilizers from July 31, 2026, to July 31, 2027. This extension aims to facilitate further discussions with the industry regarding compliant labelling. The federal government amended fertilizer regulations in 2020, with most requirements effective in 2023. The CFIA will continue to verify compliance and notify parties of non-compliance, ensuring safety while minimizing costs and burdens on the sector.
