Canada: Health Canada Consulting on Policy Revision for Foods Derived from Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer
Health Canada is proposing a policy revision for foods derived from somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), cattle and swine and their progeny. Currently, Health Canada considers foods derived from SCNT cattle, swine, and their progeny as novel foods and subject to the regulations concerning novel foods including a pre-market notification and assessment prior to approval for sale in Canada. The policy revision would mean that these foods are no longer considered novel by Health Canada and would no longer require pre-market notification. The consultation will run from March 26, 2024 until May 25, 2024.
