Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The TPD (Therapeutic Products Directorate) in Canada classifies any substance that is used for disinfection in food manufacturing facilities as a drug. This is because such substances are intended to have a therapeutic effect on the food, by reducing the risk of contamination and the spread of disease. As drugs, these disinfectants are subject to regulation under the TPD and must be authorized for use before they can be sold or distributed in Canada.
