The Livestock Inspection Branch was formed in 1982 after the Live Stock Branch and the Veterinary Services Branch were dissolved, both of which had inspection programs. In 1993 its name was changed to the Meat Industry Inspection Branch. In 1997 the Meat Industry Inspection Branch ceased to exist when the Food Inspection Branch was formed, which took on the function of meat inspection as well as dairy and horiticultural inspections.
