Home / SFCR – Licensing and Traceability

The Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR) is currently in force with licensing and traceability requirements in effect for many businesses in the fresh fruits or vegetables (FFV) sector.

On January 15, 2020, the preventive control and preventive control plan requirements will come into force for FFV businesses that hold a Safe Food for Canadians licence, as well as for growers and harvesters.

Growers and harvesters will also need to start complying with the traceability requirements.

I’ve been following DRC’s work since 2014, and it’s been amazing to see all the developments and the impact the DRC continues to make in promoting fair and efficient dispute resolution practices. When I contributed my comments and suggestions to the Zero Draft of the UNIDROIT Legal Guide on Contract Farming, I had the DRC in mind as a model of success. It’s wonderful to see the continued growth and influence of such a valuable organization! Looking forward to following DRC’s future work.
