Abstract

The present regulations provide for the enforcement of the Canada Agricultural Products Act. In particular, they lay down provisions relating to honey. The regulations contain at the outset a definition clause referring to various terms therein employed, such as “adulterated”, “Agency”, “bulk container”, “colour classification”, “container”, “contaminated”, “food additive”, “grade”, “label”, “liquid honey”, “registered establishment”, “substitute”. Section 4 establishes that no person shall market honey in import, export or interprovincial trade as food unless the honey is not adulterated; is not contaminated; is edible; is prepared in a sanitary manner; and meets all other requirements of the Food and Drugs Act and the Food and Drug Regulations. The text consists of 60 sections divided into 6 Parts as follows: Health and safety (I); Packing (II); Markings (III); Inspection and certification (IV); Import, export and interprovincial trade (V); Administration (VI).
