The Safe Food for Canadians (SFC) framework is designed to protect consumers and strengthen Canada’s food system. It requires businesses to follow strict standards in food safety, labeling, licensing, and preventive control plans. For importers, exporters, and domestic producers, compliance not only ensures consumer trust but also opens access to broader markets. By meeting SFC requirements, businesses demonstrate accountability, reduce risks of food hazards, and maintain strong reputations in the Canadian and global food industry.
