Health Canada's industry bulletin announced the clarification on July 22, 2026. Air filtration must be present in production and storage areas, but applicants are not required to demonstrate adequacy or submit detailed plans at the application stage.

The guidance describes continuing maintenance and inspection expectations. Provincial, territorial and local requirements can also apply, including where federal odour filtration requirements do not.
