Reminder of Significant Program Changes for 2022

The CanadaGAP Program Management Manual contains further details about the following significant changes to the program for 2022:

  1. Introduction of two new CanadaGAP certification options, E and F: These two new CanadaGAP certification options are not GFSI-recognized.
  • If program participants are interested in switching to one of the new certification options, they are strongly advised to check first with their buyers/customers to ensure that non-GFSI-recognized certification is acceptable.
  • The new certification options are available April 1, 2022.
  • Complete the Change of Status Form (or Enrolment Form, for new program participants) on the CanadaGAP website at canadagap.ca

For more information:

  1. “Production and Packing” audits for Option C and Option B Group Members: To maintain GFSI recognition for Options C and B, some operations who have both “Production and Packing” on their certificate may need more than one annual audit so that both harvesting and packing-related activities can be seen each year. Changes are effective April 1, 2022.
