What is CanadaGAP?
CanadaGAP is a certification program to promote Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) for fruit and vegetable suppliers, producers, processors, packers and wholesalers. It is recognized by the Government of Canada and is designed to implement and maintain effective food safety procedures for fresh produce operations.
Why do I need CanadaGAP?
Many customers of fresh producer suppliers require CanadaGAP certification (or other like SQF). It certifies that the operation has a system of procedures to minimize risk of contamination to product. Auditors gather evidence to attest to the ongoing maintenance of the food safety system in the operation.
Is my commodity covered by CanadaGAP?
If you produce, pack, handle or broker fresh fruits and vegetables destined for human consumption, your commodity is probably covered by CanadaGAP (or other like SQF). If you have any other questions, please email egrant@perennia.ca
