Food Safety Program, for Processor and Distributors
 

The Food Safety Program, for Processors and Distributors is a component of the Canadian Food Safety and Quality Program (CFSQP). It is funded under Growing Forward (GF), the new Agricultural Policy Framework program, a federal-provincial-territorial initiative that aims to position Canada as a world leader in food safety, innovation and environmentally responsible, agricultural production.  


Pilot Projects
GMP/HACCP
 

  
   

The Food Safety Program was developed to increase the number of non-federally registered, food processing plants developing and implementing Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) and/or ISO 22000 food safety and traceability systems (fish and shellfish processing plants are excluded).

The Food Safety Program was developed to improve the safety and traceability knowledge and awareness of the food processing, transportation, and warehousing sector and associated stakeholders.
