Booby Food, an Alberta-based company specializing in breast milk freeze-drying, has had its licence suspended by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) for failing to meet several regulatory requirements.
On Wednesday, the CFIA announced that it had suspended Booby Food’s licence on March 5, which means the company can’t operate for now.
There is no recall linked to the suspension.
The company’s Safe Food for Canadians licence was suspended because it “failed to comply with several regulatory requirements,” the CFIA said.
The violations included import, export and interprovincial movement activities and sanitation and preventive controls.
The company also failed to comply with Canada’s Food and Drugs Act, which prohibits the sale of unfit product and manufacturing in unsanitary conditions, the CFIA said.

“Licence holders are responsible for ensuring that they comply with Canada’s food laws. The CFIA is responsible for enforcing those laws,” the CFIA said.
The licence suspension will be lifted if the CFIA determines that corrective measures have been taken by the company, the agency said.
If corrective action is not taken within 90 days after suspension, the CFIA may cancel the licence again.
