Contact Us TodayA written Preventive Control Plan is the backbone of SFC licensing for Calgary manufacturers and importers — it's the document CFIA inspectors verify against, and for meat facilities it carries extra weight because Alberta's protein sector is among the most inspected in the country. A strong PCP is not a template: it's your facility's actual hazard analysis, your real critical control points, and monitoring records your staff genuinely keep.
Any business requiring an SFC licence — importers, interprovincial traders, exporters, and manufacturers of food crossing provincial borders — with limited small-business exemptions under $100,000 in annual sales (which still require hazard control, just not the written plan). Provincially-inspected facilities follow Alberta requirements instead but often adopt PCP structure for customers.
A PCP contains a HACCP-style hazard analysis at its core but adds SFCR-specific elements: traceability, recall procedures, complaint handling, and — for importers — supplier verification. If you already run HACCP, we extend it to full PCP compliance rather than starting over.
Federal-grade Preventive Control Plan required under Canada's Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR) for licensed processors and importers.
