CanadaGAP is a food safety certification program for fruit and vegetable growers and packers that aims to minimize risks of on-farm food safety hazards. By obtaining CanadaGAP certification, a farm demonstrates its commitment to producing safe, high-quality fruits and vegetables. This certification is recognized by retail and foodservice companies as a credible food safety assurance program.
To become certified, a farm must demonstrate compliance with a set of food safety standards, which cover areas such as crop production, post-harvest handling, and sanitation. The farm must also undergo an on-site audit by a third-party auditor. Once certified, the farm must participate in annual surveillance audits to maintain its certification status.
Having CanadaGAP certification for our farm and fruits on our website is a great way to show our customers that we are committed to producing safe and high-quality products. It also gives our customers the peace of mind that our fruits have been grown and handled in accordance with recognized food safety standards.
