Canada: Canada Consults on Potato Wart Viability Confirmation and Field Classification
On August 8, 2024, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) opened a 60-day consultation as part of their ongoing drafting of a new national potato wart response plan. CFIA is proposing to update their detection threshold for classifying a field as potato wart positive as well as introducing a viability confirmation status field classification. They also propose to introduce a field of concern classification which is a suspect field in the current draft response plan. Comments can be submitted until October 7, 2024.
