Food Safety and Traceability
We
are helping the sector respond to heightened consumer awareness of food safety
by supporting the adoption of practices that enhance food safety on farms and
in the food and beverage processing industry.
We are also helping producers
and processors respond to market demands, and improve product tracking, by supporting
facility-level traceability systems.
There are two components to the
Food Safety and Traceability Program:
- Food Safety and Traceability
Education (FSTE) supports the implementation of FSTI by funding sector-level
education and outreach activities that promote the adoption of food safety and
traceability best practices to Ontario producers and processors. The
Agriculture Adaptation Council will deliver this program.
Growing Forward is a commitment by Canada's federal,
provincial and territorial governments to support the development
of and implementation of best practices in four key areas: Environment
and Climate Change; Food Safety and Traceability; Business Development;
and Biosecurity. Participants are encouraged to develop strategies
to meet their business goals through a variety of information
sessions and workshops as well as one-on-one training and technical
assistance.
