Learn About Best Practices for Importing Safe Food Products from China and Emerging Markets

I.E.Canada, along with its Food Committee, is inviting members of the food industry to attend I.E.Canada’s 3rd Annual Food Forum. The Food Forum is Canada’s premier event for members of the government and industry to share knowledge and exchange information. Building on the success of previous years, this event will offer opportunities for education, knowledge sharing, and networking.

Food safety compliance will be to focus of this year’s Forum. Import product safety has become one of the priorities for governments and businesses world wide. The need for systems that both ensure the integrity of Canada’s food supply and protect consumers from any mishaps that could occur has come into sharp focus. Ensuring that our processes ensure imported foods are safe is critical to maintaining Canadian consumer confidence in our food industries.

One of the key sessions is “Practices for Importing Safe Products from China and Emerging Markets”, a panel discussion with:

Christine Lowry, Vice President, Nutrition and Corporate Affairs, Kellogg Canada Inc. (invited), Mark FeDuke, Traffic Manager, VLM Food Trading International Inc., John Kukoly, Product Manager, Food Safety and Organic Certification, QMI
