Coming Soon from PJRFSI:
CanadaGAP Certification
New to the range of certification programs offered by PJRFSI, we are pleased to be in the process of bringing CanadaGAP certification to our clients!
Initially developed starting in 2000 as the “On-Farm Food Safety (OFFS) Guidelines” to meet the needs of Canadian Horticultural Council (CHC) members. Originally consisting of eight crop groups, the certification program was officially launched as CanadaGAP in 2008, consolidating the groups into six HACCP models and six OFFS manuals. As of 2010, CanadaGAP became the first Canadian food safety program recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) for options B & C; today, CanadaGAP is fully recognized by the Canadian government, and is also recognized for GFSI option D.
As a comprehensive food safety program intended for companies producing, handling, and brokering fruits and vegetables, CanadaGAP is built to oversee effective food safety procedures in fresh produce operations. Between its GFSI-recognized status and exclusive delivery via accredited Certification Bodies, CandaGAP’s standard for food safety is bar none. With the flexibility of options for not only individual operations but groups as well, there is an option for businesses of any size or type within the industry.
PJRFSI will soon be able to schedule and conduct audit activities, assign auditors, review findings and corrective actions, and issue certificates of conformity – all with the great customer service focus that PJRFSI is known for! Stay tuned for updates on this exciting new program.
