About the certification
CanadaGAP certification
Verifying and ensuring traceability in production processes is paramount for the industry. Through CanadaGAP certification, it is determined that the supplier meets the standard and that its food safety program is being maintained on an ongoing basis.
The certification process
Becoming a CanadaGAP-certified facility involves you receiving a site visit to your operations, reviewing the food safety manual(s) and related records, interviewing the operator and staff and assessing the company’s compliance with the CanadaGAP audit checklist. This requires that all facilities are actively involved in the process and are responsible for maintaining effective management systems to ensure compliance with the requirements.
No surprises or additional requirements
