Quick Answer
Most foods imported into Canada require a Safe Food for Canadians (SFC) licence from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), issued for the activity “Importing Food” and the commodities you import. Importers also need preventive controls (in most cases a written preventive control plan), traceability records one step back and one step forward, and English and French labels. The CFIA checks the licence automatically at the border.
