Canada intends to amend food and drug regulations

  On October 16, 2020, Health Canada issued a G/TBT/N/CAN/621 notification, which will amend the Food and Drug Regulations (FDR) to establish a regulatory framework for the sale of human milk fortifiers (HM) in Canada. The main contents include: 1. HMF is a food designed to be added to human milk to increase its nutritional value to meet the special needs of infants with physical conditions due to diseases, illnesses or abnormal physical conditions. It is a prepackaged instant food. At present, there are no regulations specifically for these products in the FDR, so the FDR needs to be amended to allow HMF to add vitamins, mineral nutrients and amino acids, and include relevant provisions to protect the health and safety of vulnerable people using HMF; 2. Formulate pre-market submission requirements for HMFs that have newly entered the market and HMFs that undergo major changes; formulate a list of types of vitamins, minerals, nutrients and amino acids allowed to be added to HMF; formulate labeling requirements; list sales conditions; 3. To ensure that certain vulnerable groups of infants in Canada continue to obtain safe and adequately maintained HMFs so that they can be used outside hospitals under medical supervision, clear regulatory requirements have been formulated and provided for manufacturers and importers who sell these products in Canada. Provide greater transparency. These regulations have been published in the second part of the Canadian Gazette and become effective on the date of publication; HMF currently sold in Canada will have a one-year transition period after the new regulations take effect to comply with the new regulations.

Russian meat exports will exceed 1 billion U.S. dollars in 2020

  The Russian agricultural investor website reported on October 19 that Russian meat exports in 2020 will reach a record 590,000 tons, and the export value will exceed 1 billion US dollars. Russian experts analyzed that the meat market in Russia is becoming increasingly saturated and producers are looking for new distribution channels. The reasons for the increase in Russian meat exports include: first, the overall increase in international meat trade, and second, the price competitiveness of Russian meat products compared with other large international suppliers. In addition, the opening of new markets, especially the opening of Vietnam and Hong Kong, has played a certain role in promoting Russian meat exports. Experts say that Russian meat exports will account for about 6% of the total output, and this proportion may reach 10% in the future. By the end of this year, the export of Russian meat products (including by-products, semi-finished products and finished products) will be roughly equivalent to imports. Russia currently ranks 11th in the world in poultry exports. This year's export volume is about 280,000 tons, an increase of 33% year-on-year. Export volume will exceed import volume for the first time. The export volume of Russian pork from January to September doubled to 143,000 tons, and the annual export volume may reach 200,000 tons.
