On-Farm Food Safety Recognition Program

Government-recognized on-farm food safety programs are technically based on the internationally accepted food safety control system called Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP). Government recognition of HACCP-based on-farm food safety programs may enhance Canada's domestic and international reputation as a leader in food safety and quality. This, in turn, could mean expanded markets for Canadian products.

The Canadian On-Farm Food Safety Program provides national producer organizations with the opportunity to develop strategies and tools to educate producers and to implement the programs.
