Canada: Canada Reimplements Temporary Import Requirements for US Romaine Lettuce

Beginning September 26, 2024, Canada will once again require additional import requirements for U.S. origin romaine lettuce. These temporary requirements will be in effect until December 18, 2024. During this time, the conditions for import of U.S. leafy greens will require that any imported romaine lettuce and/or salad mixes containing romaine lettuce must contain additional attestations on Proof of Origin that it was grown outside the Salinas Valley counties of Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, San Benito, or Monterey, or conduct CFIA approved sampling and testing with a negative E. coli O157:H7 result.
