    I dont think i want meat from most countries in those regions. Food safety regulations are not made equal everywhere. I wouldnt want any from the US either

      Canada has pretty decent protections in place for consumers, and meat has to hit the Grade Requirements for imported meat products.

      additionally - employees at meat packing plants in the U.S. enjoy when they are processing meat for sale to Canada, because the processing lines slow down significantly, (meaning they don’t have to work at as much of a frantic pace), to meet Canadian standards.

      Usually, the food regulations of the country you’re importing into is what counts. So in order to export to you, a product has to fulfil your country’s rules.

      What’s to worry about is the labour and environment laws of the country your product comes from.

        Yes but the exporting country decides if their product adheres to the rules or not. There is no way for the importing one to check if all the products actually meet its standards other than trusting the entire certification chain of the exporting one.
