Contact Us TodayOttawa's food scene is weighted toward artisan producers, importers, and institutional food service rather than heavy manufacturing — and its audits skew accordingly: CFIA verification for the capital's many small federally-licensed importers, Ottawa Public Health inspections, and supplier audits demanded by the region's large institutional buyers (government cafeterias, universities, hospitals). Right-sized auditing matters; a 900-line SQF checklist is the wrong tool for a 12-person specialty producer.
A scaled gap assessment against your real obligations: SFCR/PCP requirements if you're licensed, Ontario public-health requirements, and whichever customer code of practice your biggest buyer imposes. We produce a short, prioritized action list — not a phone book.
Increasingly they require demonstrated food safety systems — sometimes full GFSI, more often a documented HACCP-based program verified by a third-party audit. We run those verification audits and issue reports your buyer's procurement team accepts.
An independent third-party assessment of your food safety programs against a chosen standard (HACCP, GFSI scheme, GMP, regulatory).
