Frequently Asked Questions - Preventive Control Plan Consultant in Kitchener

What is a Preventive Control Plan (PCP) under SFCR?
A Preventive Control Plan (PCP) is a written food safety document required by the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations for most licensed food businesses. It describes how you prevent, eliminate, or reduce food safety hazards to acceptable levels through preventive controls covering hazards, sanitation, pest control, allergens, traceability, employee competency, and recall programs.
Is a PCP the same as a HACCP plan?
Not exactly. A HACCP plan is one part of a broader PCP. The PCP under SFCR encompasses HACCP-based controls plus prerequisite programs, employee training records, supplier controls, traceability, and a recall program. Some small businesses may qualify for a simplified PCP.
What happens if I don't have a PCP during a CFIA inspection?
Operating without a required PCP is a serious SFCR violation. CFIA inspectors can issue non-compliance notices, suspend your SFC License, or initiate enforcement actions. We strongly recommend having a complete, implemented PCP before any CFIA interaction.
How do you make sure our PCP is inspection-ready?
We develop your PCP using CFIA's official guidance documents and regulatory requirements. We then verify implementation by reviewing your actual records, interviewing staff, and conducting a mock CFIA inspection before any regulatory audit.
