The CBSA said in a post on X Thursday that Moby intercepted more than 40 kilograms of undeclared beef and chicken recently; the goods were found in a traveller’s luggage arriving from Nigeria.

Travellers are required by law to declare all food, plant and animal products they bring into Canada, including live animals and animal products, such as cooked or raw meats, hides, skins, trophies, milk, fat, butter, cheese, eggs, fish and seafood.

Failure to declare any of these products or to provide required permits/certificates can lead to detention of those products, a penalty of up to $1,300 and/or prosecution.

“Travellers may not realize the hazards associated with food, plant and animal products,” the CBSA said on its website.

“These products may carry invasive species and diseases and may cause risks to Canada’s food supply, economy, environment and our health.”


The products Moby helped find were seized and the traveller was fined, the agency said.

Last month, detector dog Dharla sniffed out 2.5 kilograms of raw meat during an inspection. The items, which included raw duck, pigeon, chicken and rabbit, were found in a traveller’s luggage arriving from Egypt.

They were properly declared, the CBSA told Global News, so no enforcement actions were taken against the traveller.

However, the products were refused entry into Canada as they were contrary to Canadian Food Inspection Agency regulations, the agency added.

Delta plane crash: Where the investigation stands a year after Toronto incident | Globalnews.ca


Federal investigators say they’re in the “examination and analysis phase” of their probe into the Delta plane crash in Toronto last February.

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) outlined the work they’ve done to date Thursday, roughly a year after Delta Air Lines flight 4819 crash landed on a Toronto Pearson Airport runway.

During the afternoon of Feb. 17, the flight — operated by subsidiary Endeavor Air and coming to Toronto from Minneapolis — hit the tarmac and burst into flames; it eventually flipped over on its roof before coming to a stop.

The CRJ-900 aircraft, manufactured by Bombardier, was carrying a total of 80 people on board — 76 passengers and four crew members.

All passengers and crew were accounted for. Delta said 21 people were taken to hospital.

Among the passengers, 22 of them were Canadian. The rest were multinational, according to Deborah Flint, president and CEO of the airport.

The crash came after the Toronto area was hit with two significant snowstorms that week, and on a day that saw very high winds.

“The investigation is ongoing and is currently in the examination and analysis phase,” the TSB said Thursday.

“Future work will focus on finalizing the analysis of all technical, flight operations, and laboratory results. Following this, the team will proceed with drafting the final investigation report while maintaining continued coordination with representatives from the manufacturer, the operator, the NTSB, the FAA, and Transport Canada.”

In March, the TSB released its preliminary report that indicated there was a “high rate of descent” seconds before landing. However, it added it was too early to determine what caused the crash.

Since then, the TSB said its investigators have completed tests on the wreckage, examined on-board recorders and completed a “comprehensive review of the meteorological conditions” that day.

“The investigation team conducted simulator exercises at the operator’s facility. The approach profile, including occurrence speeds and thrust settings, was examined in a series of exercises, and the analysis of the simulations is ongoing,” the TSB said.

“An analysis of the survivability factors and the emergency response, including an examination of restraint systems, emergency egress routes, crew coordination, and aircraft rescue and firefighting response is ongoing.”

The TSB did not indicate when it expects to complete a final report.
