Detail:
The Canadian Shellfish Sanitation Program (CSSP), administered by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, monitors, classifies and controls areas where filter-feeding bivalve molluscan shellfish are harvested. The objective of the monitoring program is to ensure shellfish harvest areas are placed in closed status when unacceptable biotoxin (e.g., paralytic shellfish poisoning, amnesic shellfish poisoning, diarrhetic shellfish poisoning, and pectenotoxins) levels are reached. The limits of these marine biotoxins in foods are also set out in Health Canada's Maximum Levels for Chemical Contaminants in Foods. Confirmation is required to ensure that products containing filter-feeding bivalve molluscan shellfish are safe for human consumption where it has been harvested from waters with controls comparable to that in place under the CSSP and produced in compliance with the Safe Foods for Canadians Regulations.
