Contact Us TodayGMP work in Halifax frequently means adapting good manufacturing practices to buildings and operations the textbooks didn't anticipate: waterfront plants decades old, seasonal operations that sit idle then surge, and mixed-use facilities where retail, wholesale, and processing share space. The fundamentals — pest control, maintenance, personnel practices, water safety — are the same 21st-century requirements CFIA and buyers expect everywhere; the craft is implementing them credibly in Atlantic Canada's actual building stock and seasonal rhythms.
A documented pre-operational program: full sanitation of all equipment and surfaces, pest-control verification after months of low activity, potable water flushing and testing, equipment maintenance and calibration checks, and refresher training before the first shift. Auditors and CFIA increasingly ask for start-up records specifically, because idle periods are when facilities deteriorate unobserved. We build the checklist and the evidence trail.
Water contacting food or food surfaces must be potable, and you must be able to prove it: municipal users keep utility confirmation and manage on-site risks like backflow prevention and hose hygiene; well users need a testing program with documented results and treatment verification where applicable. Coastal plants using seawater in processing face additional requirements. We set up the monitoring appropriate to your source.
Foundational GMPs that underpin every food safety system — building, equipment, personnel, sanitation, and pest control.
