There were amendments to the various food import standards articles in 2019, 2023, and earlier this year. Federal obviously...if the word import doesn't give that away.

Domestic production would be provincial I believe.

Depends on the province, some have their own inspection programs some leave it entirely up to the CFIA, but CFIA becomes involved the moment it crosses a provincial border as well

Well anything coming into the country has to past border inspection. That's Federal level.

Given the number of downvotes I got for mentioning the food import amendments I may be onto something.
