Why Should You Attend

Safe Food for Canadians Regulation (SFCR) kicked off January 2019 after several long gazette comment periods by the CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency). This session delivers a broad overview of the standard and covers resources for compliance.

Under this regulation, many food companies are now required to register for a license, with many aspects mimicking the new FDA FSMA requirements.

The new portal, recordkeeping, and compliance requirements, as well as staggered deadlines, will be presented. Exclusions, responsible parties, and import and export items will be covered in this session.
