The CFIA met with Ukrainian officials on October 18, just last month, to seek assurances regarding food safety as well as the animal health controls in Ukraine presently. Ukrainian officials assured the agency that food safety and animal health standards and controls are at the same level as they were at the time of the audit that was conducted in 2019, and that Ukraine inspects and certifies exports as per the certificate conditions.
This was also reaffirmed in writing by Ukrainian officials to the agency following that meeting.
Thank you.
