Canadian Food Inspection Agency The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has completed its investigation related to the two 2021 detections of potato wart in Prince Edward Island (PEI) ahead of the September 2023 target date. In line with the Government of Canada's Budget 2022 commitment to support the potato industry, the CFIA accelerated its in depth investigation to help contain, control, and prevent the spread of potato wart and to maintain market access for PEI potatoes. Over the course of the investigation, the CFIA collected and analyzed nearly 50,000 soil samples from fields in PEI associated with recent detections.
