Statement - Update from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency on a revised regulatory approach to the Livestock Traceability Regulations
The-Food-&-Wine-Radio-Network hosted a recent episode providing an update on the Livestock Traceability Regulations by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). Jennifer English, the host, discussed the significance of a strong traceability program for the rapid identification and containment of animal diseases, ultimately contributing to the overall prosperity of the Canadian agricultural sector.

SKIPPER LAUNCHES FRIDGE HYDRATION, ADDRESSING A FUNDAMENTAL GAP IN FOOD PRESERVATION
In this episode of The Food and Wine Radio Network, host Jennifer English discusses a crucial breakthrough in food preservation technology, Skipper's Fridge Hydration. Unlike conventional refrigerators that only manage temperature, this new technology also controls humidity. This feature helps maintain the freshness of stored produce up to three times longer, directly combating dry air, a significant factor of spoilage. In addition, maintaining produce hydration can prevent nutritional degradation, such as vitamin C and folate breakdown. The podcast also highlights the massive scale of produce wastage in U.S. households, accentuating the importance of this innovative solution. The technology is now available on Amazon and will soon feature on TikTok's shop as well, promising a small but significant step towards reducing food waste and saving money.

Government of Canada launches engagement on expanding the geographical indications regime under the Trademarks Act
The latest episode of BC Food News, hosted by Jennifer English, discussed Canada's government's intent to expand the geographical indications regime under the Trademarks Act, a move aimed at unlocking new economic opportunities and promoting long-term prosperity for all Canadians. The focus is to extend these indications — a type of intellectual property closely tied to the product's geographic origin — into traditional crafts and industrial products. This aligns with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, aiming to protect and promote Indigenous knowledge and cultural expressions. It hopes to attract tourism, encourage investment and ensure respectful use of Indigenous place names. Products like 'Canadian Rye Whisky', 'Ontario Icewine', shipbuilding, and ceramics could all benefit from the strengthened protections. This initiative is part of broader efforts towards Indigenous reconciliation and trade development. https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4698806-1&h=1161589385&u=https%3A%2F%2Flaws-lois.justice.gc.ca%2Feng%2Facts%2Ft-13%2Findex.html&a=Trademarks+Acthttps://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4698806-1&h=3667796587&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.justice.gc.ca%2Feng%2Fdeclaration%2Fap-pa%2Findex.html&a=United+Nations+Declaration+on+the+Rights+of+Indigenous+Peoples+Act+Action+Planhttps://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4698806-1&h=3563372551&u=https%3A%2F%2Fconversations.ised-isde.canada.ca%2Fgeographical-indications-gi-regime-in-canada&a=Engagement+on+the+geographical+indications+regime+in+Canadahttps://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4698806-1&h=1537163072&u=https%3A%2F%2Fised-isde.canada.ca%2Fsite%2Fstrategic-policy-sector%2Fen%2Fmarketplace-framework-policy%2Ftrade-mark-policy&a=Trademark+policyhttps://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4698806-1&h=3479557088&u=https%3A%2F%2Fised-isde.canada.ca%2Fsite%2Fintellectual-property-strategy%2Fen%2Findigenous-peoples-and-intellectual-property&a=Indigenous+Peoples+and+intellectual+propertyhttps://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4698806-1&h=1447217914&u=https%3A%2F%2Fised-isde.canada.ca%2Fsite%2Fised%2Fen&a=Innovation%2C+Science+and+Economic+Development+Canadahttps://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4698806-1&h=3511529510&u=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2FISED_CA&a=X%C2%A0(Twitter)%3A%C2%A0%40ISED_CAPOST datahttps://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4698806-1&h=830254702&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FCanadianInnovation&a=Facebook%3A%C2%A0Canadian+Innovationhttps://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4698806-1&h=2842435044&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fcdninnovation%2F&a=Instagram%3A%C2%A0%[email protected]@ised-isde.gc.cahttps://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4698806-1&h=3773638687&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fcompany%2Fised-isde&a=LinkedIn%3A%C2%A0Innovation%2C+Science+and+Economic+Development+Canada
