DFC’s Objectives for the Program
- Provide efficient, effective, fair and impartial registration services to all licensed applicants.
- Have all producers implement the program and be registered by 2012.
- Maintain CFIA technical recognition of the CQM food safety requirements.
- Regularly assess and improve these services.
The CQM program has been developed according to the Canadian Approach to On-Farm Food Safety. Many other agricultural sectors have developed on-farm food safety programs as well. The Canadian On-Farm Food Safety Working Group maintains status reports on national on-farm food safety programs.
