Canadian Grain Commission’s grain safety programs achieve international recognition

The Canadian Grain Commission’s grain safety certification programs are now recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). This recognition demonstrates the rigour and credibility of the Canadian Grain Commission’s programs, which in turn will give certified companies greater access to world markets.
 
Through its benchmarking process, GFSI has concluded that the following Canadian Grain Commission programs meet internationally accepted science-based standards in food safety management:
  • Canadian Grain Commission Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (CGC HACCP)
  • Canadian Identity Preserved System and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (CIPRS + HACCP)
By achieving GFSI Technical Equivalence, the Canadian Grain Commission is in a stronger position to help grain handling companies meet both international regulatory and market-driven food safety demands.
