History
In 1982, the Marketing and Standards group, including the newly created Quality and Standards Division, replaced the Marketing Division of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food.
From 1982 to 1990, while under the Marketing and Standards group, the Quality and Standards Division was responsible for the Investigative Unit and Financial Protection Unit as well as the Livestock Inspection Branch, Dairy Inspection Branch, and the Fruit and Vegetable Inspection Branch. In 1990, the Quality and Standards Division was transferred to the Food Industry Division.
Early in 1991, Quality and Standards Division was no longer under the Food Industry Division and instead, reported directly to the Deputy Minister. As well, Quality and Standards became additionally responsible for the Agriculture and Food Laboratory Services Branch and the Veterinary Laboratory Services Branch.
Later in 1991, the Quality and Standards Division was renamed the Laboratory and Inspection Services Division.
