CFIA visit for inspections
Dr Denis Anderchek, who is an inspector with the Canadian Food Inspection Authority (CFIA), visited New Zealand for two weeks in April to carry out inspections of the manufacture of two products for their continued approval in Canada.
One inspection was of the farm-to-production processes for the manufacture of the product Colostryx by Fonterra. Prepared from whey concentrate, the product is registered in Canada and the USA as a veterinary medicine.
The other inspection was of Schering-Plough for compliance with good manufacturing practice for veterinary biologicals. Schering-Plough is a manufacturer of veterinary vaccines and supplies products into the world market.
Dr Anderchek visited NZFSA on 15 April for discussions on matters of regulatory interest with staff from the ACVM Group and the Dairy Group. Another meeting, the Veterinary International Conference on Harmonisation in May 2005 in Washington DC, will provide the opportunity for talks with Canadian and other regulators on the management of GMP for veterinary products.
