Canadian Horticultural Council to release updated OFFS manuals for 2011

OTTAWA – The Canadian Horticultural Council (CHC)’s CanadaGAP Program has issued updates to its On-Farm Food Safety (OFFS) Manuals for 2011. The 2011 version incorporates previously released updates as approved by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) in 2010, as well as a few other minor improvements.

How to obtain your copy
CanadaGAP Program participants will receive a CD copy directly by mail. CHC members will have access to the latest manuals at www.canadagap.ca

Implementation Date
The implementation date (effective date for certification purposes) of all updates will be April 1, 2011. A revised version of the audit checklist will be published well before this date.

Review the changes
To familiarize yourself with the changes, please download the Revisions documents, which track the changes that have been made to the manual since the previously released version. These can be found on the website www.canadagap.ca in both English and French.
