The outside service provider must have either CanadaGAP certification, or another industry recognized third party food safety audit/certification. This would be the case regardless of whether or not the product ever comes back from the outside service provider.

Examples:

  • Producer receives a certificate from a standalone storage operation.
  • Producer receives a certificate from a harvesting operation.
  • Packer receives a certificate from an “icing” operation.
  • Packer receives a certificate from another packer.
  • Wholesaler receives a certificate from another wholesaler.

 The program requires that the operation get either a copy of the CanadaGAP certificate or other third party food safety audit/certification from every service provider.
