Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Lawrence MacAulay congratulates the Dairy Farmers of Canada and its "Canadian Quality Milk Program" for having successfully completed the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's (CFIA) Food Safety Recognition Program (FSRP).
The FSRP provides federal recognition of on-farm and post-farm food safety systems developed and implemented by national industry organizations to enhance food safety, maintain the confidence of Canadian consumers, and facilitate market access.
Qualification for the FSRP is assessed through an extremely thorough review process. DFC is only the second organization to qualify under the program, after the Chicken Farmers of Canada (CFC) in 2013.
The CFIA and the Government of Canada continue to work closely with industry partners, enhancing food safety for Canadian families from farm to fork.
