Canadian Food Safety and Quality Program: Food Safety Initiative
GMP/HACCP Pilot Project
GMP/HACCP Pilot Project
This
component of the Food Safety Initiative (FSI) provided funding for pilot projects
for the development and implementation of (Good Manufacturing Practices) GMP and/or
HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) systems based on the OMAFRA's Advantage
Series of Food Safety Programs™.
Eligible costs included funding
for consultants, laboratory services and economic studies. FSI also reimbursed
the company for GMP/ HACCP certification costs incurred through the audit and
certification process by the Canadian
General Standards Board (CGSB). Capital costs and equipment purchases were
not covered by this funding.
Federal and provincial food processors in
Ontario benefited from the FSI funding by participating in these pilot projects.
Fourteen (14) pilot sites were certified: 3 for the Advantage GMP program,
4 for the Advantage HACCP program, and 7 for the Advantage HACCP Plus
program. The Advantage HACCP Plus program includes elements of security
and traceability.
