Canada is not banning produce imports from U.S. amid cyclosporiasis outbreak, CFIA says

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said it is not considering restrictions on U.S. fresh produce imports despite thousands of U.S. infections from a diarrhea-causing parasite. The decision reduces immediate trade/controls risk for importers, but the ongoing health incident keeps near-term caution on supply chain and retail sentiment.
