Agricultural Policy Framework:
Food Safety and Quality Chapter
Canadian Food Safety and Quality Program
Through the
Canadian Food Safety and Quality Program, federal and provincial
governments, including British Columbia, have committed to work
together to assist industry in developing and implementing
government recognized national food safety, traceability and food
quality systems throughout the food chain.
The
Canadian Food Safety and Quality
Program has three components.
The first two components are delivered nationally by Agriculture and Agri-Food
Canada, whereas the third is delivered provincially in participating
provinces.
-
Systems
Development Component
Provides funding primarily to national associations for the
development of voluntary, industry led, food safety, food quality
and traceability systems along the entire food chain.
-
On Farm Implementation Component
Provides funding to assist producers through their industry
associations with specified costs associated with implementing
government recognized on-farm food safety systems.
-
Food
Safety Initiative Component
Funds specified activities and initiatives intended to
increase awareness, knowledge and support for the implementation
of food safety management systems in eligible, non-federally
registered food processing plants. More information on the
Food Safety Initiative and what is initially being proposed for
British Columbia is contained in the above link.
