Frequently Asked Questions - Food Importer Compliance Consultant in Miami

What regulations apply to food importers in Canada?

Food importers in Canada must comply with the Safe Food for Canadians Act (SFCA) and Regulations (SFCR), hold an SFC License for importing, maintain a Preventive Control Plan with import controls, verify that foreign suppliers meet Canadian standards (foreign supplier verification), and ensure imported foods comply with Canadian labelling and composition requirements.

What is foreign supplier verification under SFCR?

Under SFCR, Canadian importers must have written procedures to verify that their foreign food suppliers are producing food that meets the food safety requirements of the SFCA and SFCR. This may include supplier questionnaires, third-party audit results, certificate of analysis review, and on-site supplier audits.

What documentation must a food importer maintain under SFCR?

Importers must maintain: import control records (country of origin, supplier, product description), foreign supplier verification records, commodity inspection certificates where required, and records demonstrating that imported food meets Canadian standards. All records must be kept for at least 2 years.

Do we need an SFC License for every commodity we import?

Your SFC License must cover all commodities you import. If you add a new commodity category, you may need to amend your existing license. We review your import portfolio and ensure your SFC License and PCP accurately reflect all your import activities.
