Preventive Control Plan (PCP) Development in Brampton: What Makes It Different

Preventive Control Plans in Brampton skew heavily toward dual-activity businesses — companies that both manufacture and import, which is common across the city's food distribution economy. That doubles the PCP's scope: process controls, allergen management, and sanitation for the manufacturing side, plus foreign supplier verification and import controls for the trade side, all in one CFIA-verifiable document. A plan that covers only the plant while shipments clear the border under the same licence is a standing non-compliance.

Our company manufactures and imports — one PCP or two?

One establishment, one PCP — but with distinct sections that stand up independently: hazard analysis and controls for each manufacturing process, and separate import controls covering supplier verification, incoming inspection, and label compliance for each imported commodity class. CFIA verifies whichever activity they're examining, so both halves must be complete. We structure dual-activity PCPs so neither side dilutes the other.

How long does it take to build a CFIA-ready PCP?

For a typical Brampton manufacturer or importer, six to twelve weeks: process mapping and hazard analysis first, then the written controls, then the part most businesses underestimate — putting monitoring records into daily use so the plan is demonstrably operating, not just written. CFIA verifies operation, not paperwork, so we don't call a PCP done until records are flowing.
