End-to-End Food Safety Consulting in Hamilton: What Makes It Different

Hamilton's food economy runs on a distinctive mix — meat and poultry processors with deep roots, a strong commercial baking sector, and a craft beverage wave spilling over from Niagara wine and beer country — and its food safety consulting needs track that mix. Engagements here range from building CFIA-grade preventive controls for federally-licensed protein plants to right-sized HACCP and hygiene programs for breweries, cideries, and bakery startups answering to Hamilton Public Health Services and their first big retail customers.

We are a Hamilton craft beverage producer — how much food safety system do we really need?

Beer and cider carry lower microbial risk than most foods, but retailers and the LCBO still expect documented GMPs, allergen control (barley and sulphites are declarable), traceability, and a recall procedure; adding non-alcoholic or ready-to-drink lines raises the stakes because those products lose alcohol's protective hurdle. We scale the system to your actual hazard profile rather than importing a manufacturing-plant template.

Can you support us through a customer audit and a CFIA licence application at the same time?

Yes — and sequencing them together is efficient, because the Preventive Control Plan CFIA requires and the documentation a retail auditor wants overlap heavily. We build the shared core once (hazard analysis, sanitation, traceability, recall), then produce the licence application and the customer-facing audit evidence from it. Hamilton clients typically reach both milestones within a single engagement.
