Above each document is a general description of it, an explanation of its purpose and its place in the Canadian regulatory system.

CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) HACCP-based documents are tied to Codex Alimentarius HACCP models.  The CA documents are referenced, not directly used as standards/requirements.
(CAC/RCP 1-1969, Rev 3 (1997) Recommended International Code of Practice – General Principles of Food Hygiene (Codex Alimentarius))
(CAC/RCP 53 – 2003 CODE OF HYGIENIC PRACTICE FOR FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES (Codex Alimentarius))

Food Safety Enhancement Program (FSEP) – is a high-level program of the CFIA that lays out requirements for prerequisite programs (Good Manufacturing Practices – GMP), and for HACCP system planning, validation and reassessment.  Not directly audited, but provides CFIA with a framework for assessing establishments, and provides establishments with a framework for a sound, HACCP-based food safety program.

General Principles of Food Hygiene, Composition and Labelling (GPFHCL) – a CFIA-produced set of guidelines to assist establishments in developing a HACCP plan; and for assisting the CFIA with assessment.  GPFHCL is largely based on the Codex Alimentarius recommended code of practice: General Principles of Food Hygiene.

Code of Practice for the Hygienic Production of Sprouted Seeds (CPHPSS) – developed by the CFIA with Sprout industry input.  It is intended to assist the CFIA in ensuring that sprout operations are safe and meet the requirements of Health Canada’s Food and Drugs Act and Regulations.

Food Safety Practices Guidance for Sprout Manufacturers (FSPGSM) – a generic HACCP plan was developed using the methods in the FSEP manual.  This provided a basis for a HACCP-based guide for sprout manufacturers, which incorporates much of GPFHCL and CPHPSS.

Similar to the above, this is a HACCP-based guide for RTE vegetable manufacturers.

GLOBAL FOOD SAFETY INITIATIVE (GFSI) – recognized and benchmarked:

Note: GFSI-benchmarked schemes are essentially based on Codex Alimentarius and ISO principles. Some audits are based upon customer request.

CanadaGAP – owned by a not-for-profit corporation, CanAgPlus, since 2012.  Originally developed by the Canadian Horticultural Council based on a HACCP model it has since been extended to incorporate  the Repacking and Wholesale Food Safety Program, produced by the Canadian Produce Marketing Association.  CanadaGAP is GFSI-recognized and benchmarked. This is an optional standard.

PrimusGFS:

PrimusGFS – A GFSI-recognized and benchmarked standard against which certification may be achieved by way of external audit. Audits are performed by ISO-accredited auditors (though PrimusGFS itself is not ISO-based).   The standard incorporates three elements: a food safety plan; HACCP system; and GAP/GMP.  It is an optional standard.
