A targeted survey analysed 1984 samples of imported vegetables over a 5-year period from April 1, 2020, to March 31, 2025. The samples consisted of fresh-cut vegetable salads, and trimmed, single-cut or whole leafy vegetables. Of the 1984 samples, 1310 (66.0%) were tested for the presence of both Cyclospora cayetanensis (C. cayetanensis) and Giardia spp., while 664 (33.5%) were tested for the presence of C. cayetanensis only and 10 (0.5%) were tested for the presence of Giardia spp. only. Of the 1984 samples tested, 99.6% of the samples were found to be satisfactory. C. cayetanensis was found in 5 of the 1974 (0.3%) samples tested. Giardia spp. was found in 3 of the 1320 (0.2%) samples tested. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) conducted appropriate follow-up activities. There were no reported illnesses related to these products.
