Frequently Asked Questions - CFIA Inspection Consultant in Calgary

What does the CFIA inspect during a facility audit?
CFIA inspectors review your Preventive Control Plan (PCP), prerequisite programs (GMP, sanitation, pest control, traceability), HACCP records, labelling compliance, licensing (SFC License), and your facility's physical conditions. They assess whether you are effectively implementing your food safety system.
What is the SFCR and how does it affect my business?
The Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR) require most food businesses that manufacture, process, treat, preserve, grade, package, label, or store food for trade to hold a Safe Food for Canadians (SFC) License. SFCR also mandates written Preventive Control Plans for businesses above a certain size.
How can Iyarkai help us pass a CFIA inspection?
We conduct full mock CFIA inspections using the same checklists CFIA inspectors use. We identify gaps, produce a corrective action report, help you fix deficiencies, and coach your management team on how to interact with inspectors.
How quickly can you help us prepare for an upcoming CFIA inspection?
We can mobilize within 48 hours for urgent preparation. Our rapid-response CFIA readiness package includes a 1-day on-site audit, same-week corrective action plan, and priority document review.

CFIA Inspection Preparation in Calgary: What Makes It Different

CFIA activity in Calgary concentrates on the sectors Alberta dominates: federally-registered meat establishments, feed and grain handlers, and the importers routing product through the city's inland distribution network. Inspection preparation here means knowing how CFIA's Compliance Verification System plays out in a slaughter or further-processing environment — where inspectors may be on-site daily — versus the scheduled verification visits a licensed importer or packaged-food manufacturer receives.

What is different about CFIA oversight at a federally-registered meat plant versus other food facilities?

Meat establishments operate under continuous or high-frequency CFIA presence, with inspectors verifying humane handling, ante- and post-mortem procedures, and PCP execution in real time — there is no 'inspection day' to prepare for, only ongoing readiness. Other licence holders see periodic preventive control inspections. We tailor readiness programs to whichever oversight model applies to your facility.

CFIA issued us a corrective action request — how should we respond?

Respond within the stated timeline with root-cause analysis, not just the immediate fix: CFIA evaluates whether your corrective action prevents recurrence, and repeat findings escalate enforcement from CARs toward licence suspension. We help draft responses that address the systemic cause and build the verification evidence showing the fix actually holds.

What to Expect from Our CFIA Inspection Preparation

On-site readiness for Canadian Food Inspection Agency inspections under the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR).

Typical Timeline

2 to 6 weeks of pre-inspection readiness work depending on facility maturity.
