The Chicken Farmers
of Canada were recently recognized by the Canadian government for its on-farm food safety program.
The on-farm food safety program was recognized by Agriculture
Minister Gerry Ritz with the first-ever letter of recognition issued under the
On-Farm Food Safety Recognition Program. The program is available to all on-farm production,
and it encourages national industry associations to develop HACCP-based food
safety systems as defined by the Codex Alimentarius.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency successfully performed a
technical review of the on-farm food safety program before the letter of
recognition was granted. Ongoing, third-party audits will be part of this food
safety program going forward.
