List of certified companies
Advantage HACCP Certification Program is the formalized process whereby a food safety management system is assessed against the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food's Advantage HACCP standard. It includes a review of an organization's documented HACCP Advantage management system and ongoing audits of the facility to ensure the Advantage HACCP management system has been implemented and is effective.
In many cases, implementing a Advantage HACCP management system means changing operations to lower the potential for food-borne illness, to define improvements for food safety and to reduce the need for product recall.
The CGSB's Advantage HACCP Certification Program provides you with a clear, recognized process to increase and demonstrate your organization's commitment to food safety. It confirms that your Advantage HACCP management system is working and that your staff provide a safe, quality product to your clients.
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) have recently added two new certification levels – Advantage GMP and Advantage HACCP Plus+
Advantage GMP is the prerequisite section of Advantage HACCP. Advantage HACCP adds HACCP plans and Critical Control Points to Advantage GMP, and is certification to the full Advantage HACCP standard. Advantage HACCP Plus+ is certification to the full Advantage HACCP standard with added requirements for biosecurity and traceability. Advantage GMP, Advantage HACCP and Advantage HACCP Plus+ thus form a progressive series. They were created to encourage small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that fall outside a federal government program to work their way up through increasingly rigorous government-recognized certifications. The CGSB offers certification to the Advantage HACCP series.
