      History

      Under the direction of the Assistant Deputy Minister, Marketing and Standards was established in 1986 assuming some of the responsibilities of the former Marketing and Development group.

      From 1986 to 1990, Marketing and Standards was responsible for the three branches within Marketing Division: Farm Products Marketing Branch, Food Processing Branch, and Market Development Branch; and the three branches and two units within Quality and Standards Division: Diary Inspection Branch, Fruit and Vegetable Inspection Branch, Livestock Inspection Branch, Investigative Unit, and Financial Protection Unit.

      In 1990, the responsibilities of Marketing and Standards were reduced to the Farm Products Marketing Branch within the Marketing Division. The Food Industry Division was responsible for the other branches formerly in the Marketing Division as well as the Quality and Standards Division.

      By 1991, Marketing and Standards no longer existed. The Marketing and Standards administrators were transferred to the Quality and Standards Division, and the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Commission took on the responsibilities of the Farm Products Marketing Branch.
