Contact Us TodayFor Miami exporters, a Preventive Control Plan is the Canadian market's entry document: SFCR requires the Canadian importer of your products to hold a PCP addressing the hazards in the foods they bring in, and importers discharge that obligation by leaning on suppliers — meaning your hazard analysis, process controls, and records become the substance of their compliance file. Miami businesses shipping juices, snacks, sauces, and specialty foods north increasingly find PCP-grade documentation is what Canadian buyers require to sign.
Practically, yes: your Canadian importer cannot satisfy their SFCR preventive-control and supplier-verification obligations without evidence of your controls, so buyers either get the documentation from you or find a supplier who provides it. Your existing FSMA food safety plan covers much of the ground — the work is a crosswalk to SFCR expectations, including Canadian allergen and labelling requirements. We produce the Canada-ready package from what you already have.
The frameworks are philosophically aligned, but the deltas matter: Canadian allergen declarations differ from US law (including distinct treatment of certain priority allergens and mustard, which Canada lists), bilingual labelling is mandatory, compositional standards apply to specific foods, and traceability expectations are framed around one-step-forward-one-step-back with 24-hour retrieval. We maintain a standing crosswalk and apply it to your products specifically.
