The Ministry of Health announces a public consultation on the modification of Articles 27 and 65 of the Food Sanitary Regulations.

The proposed amendment aims to modify the Food Sanitary Regulations to allow the use of clean seawater for certain processes applied to fish, fishery products, and the maintenance of live fish and shellfish. Conditions are established that both types of water must meet in order to prevent food contamination thru this route. Previously, a proposal had been submitted for public consultation, but the comments received required it to be revised, so this proposal is now being resubmitted new proposal.
