Contact Us TodayBrampton plants feeding GTA supply chains find SQF is what buyers name first — the national retailers and food-service distributors purchasing from Peel's manufacturing corridor overwhelmingly ask for it over other GFSI schemes. Local certification-body and auditor availability is excellent, which shortens scheduling, but it also means auditors here have seen every shortcut. For Brampton's many co-packers and mid-size processors, the decisive factors are a working internal audit program and monitoring records with genuine history behind them.
Every SQF site must designate a practitioner: an employee (not a consultant) who has completed HACCP training, understands the SQF Code, and is responsible for the system's oversight. Quality managers usually fill the role, but a capable production or sanitation lead can too. We train your practitioner alongside the system build so competence is real by audit day, not delegated to us.
Audits produce a rating from the findings: minor and major non-conformities reduce the score, and a critical fails the audit outright. Higher ratings lengthen the interval before your next unannounced audit exposure and matter to some customers. Realistically, first-time sites should target a clean pass with no majors — our pre-certification mock audit is designed to surface exactly those before the real one.
