Food Safety & Certifications
Upholding the Highest Industry Standards
Food safety is a top priority.
At terra freska, we strictly follow a range of Canadian regulations, including those from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), the Canadian Plant Protection Act, and the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR). We also implement best practices such as Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), Good Handling Practices (GHP), and Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOP) to ensure the safety and quality of all our products.
The COR is a non-traditional framework under the CFIA. The Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR) establish a federal program for regulating Canadian organic products. Designed to complement the existing system of domestic accreditation and certification, the COR ensures consistent standards for organic products.
The CFIA is the governing authority overseeing the COR, which regulates the use of the Canada Organic Logo. The CFIA partners with Conformity Verification Bodies (CVBs) that meet the criteria outlined by the SFCR and CFIA. These CVBs are designated by the CFIA to assess, recommend for accreditation, and monitor Certification Bodies (CBs) that meet the necessary accreditation standards set by the SFCR.
