Description

The Alberta Foodborne Illness and Risk Investigation Protocol provides the framework for a coordinated response to outbreaks linked to food in Alberta, should a coordinated response be deemed necessary. It provides guidance in response to outbreaks linked to food products traded interprovincially, exported from Alberta or imported and distributed within Alberta, and is designed to be used in response to suspected or confirmed multi-jurisdictional foodborne illness outbreaks or food safety risks in Alberta. It was developed by Canada-Alberta Partners in Food Safety, a partnership agreement between the Government of Canada, represented by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Health Canada, and the Government of Alberta, represented by Alberta Health, Alberta Health Services, and Alberta Agriculture and Forestry.

Description

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is responsible, under the Health of Animals Act, for eradication of foreign animal diseases in Canada. This plan outlines the roles and responsibilities of the potential government organizations (federal, provincial and municipal) that may be required to provide the CFIA with the support needed to ensure the coordinated, efficient and effective prevention and/or eradication of a foreign animal disease in Alberta. The plan also presents an opportunity for private sector organizations to participate by developing emergency response plans to support the disease control effort.
