Canadian suppliers of fresh produce are strongly committed to food safety and implement a number of measures to minimize the potential for contamination of the high quality food they provide to customers.
Fresh produce suppliers understand that vigilance about food safety has to occur at all stages of production and handling. Canadian-grown fresh fruit and vegetables have always been recognized for their high level of production safety. Yet, consumers, global markets and food safety regulators are increasingly demanding documentation to demonstrate that safe production methods are being used. That’s why more formal safety programs have been put in place.
