The CanadaGAP® Program is pleased to announce the addition of a new Certification Body, Perry Johnson Registrars Food Safety, Inc. (PJRFSI).
Terry Boboige, President, “Expanding our certification services to include CanadaGAP is an important step in supporting agricultural producers with credible, value-driven food safety certification. We look forward to helping organizations demonstrate their commitment to safe, sustainable production.”
Third-party Certification Bodies are licensed by CanadaGAP to provide audit and certification services for fresh fruit and vegetable operations who are enrolled in the program.

They also have previous experience with the CanadaGAP Program, having offered audit and certification services from 2020 to 2023. “Our goal is to make the certification process both valuable and straightforward for our clients. Offering CanadaGAP allows us to better serve producers with a recognized program that supports food safety, regulatory compliance, and market access”, said Lauren Maloney, Food Safety Program Accreditation Manager, PJRFSI.
