CFIA Importer Risk Assessment (IRA-Food) model info sessions

The IRA-Food model is a quantitative, science-based risk assessment tool designed to evaluate the food safety risk associated with food importers licenced under the SFCR. The objective of this model is to help the agency better prioritize its inspection resources and inform the level of oversight for this sector. This model follows the same scientific principles as those used by the Establishment-based Risk Assessment (ERA) model. As of April 2024, the IRA-Food model will be implemented for inspecting importers of all food commodities, providing risk results and risk profiles on an annual basis.
