New CFIA Feed Registration Renewal Process
Effective January 2026, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has transitioned to a digital-only notification system for livestock feed registration renewals. Individual renewal letters sent via email have been discontinued in favor of notifications managed directly through the My CFIA portal. Automated alerts will now be issued to account profile authorities and managers at 90, 60, and 30-day intervals prior to any registration expiry.
Updated Regulatory Requirements
In accordance with the Feeds Regulations, 2024, all renewal applications must now include an updated product label. To facilitate this requirement within the My CFIA system, applicants must select the "Renewal with changes" option, which enables the necessary label upload functionality. Submissions must also include any additional data requested via the portal's internal messaging system to be considered complete.
Account Management and Compliance
It is the responsibility of the designated profile authority and manager to ensure that all contact information within My CFIA is accurate. Renewal notices are not distributed to all party contacts; therefore, regular account audits are necessary to prevent missed deadlines. Expiry dates can be verified by accessing the My CFIA dashboard and reviewing the "Renew a permission" or "PASO submission outcomes" sections.
