Contact Us TodayIndependent audits in Montreal have to reckon with the most layered regulatory environment in Canadian food: CFIA federal requirements, MAPAQ provincial oversight, customer GFSI schemes, and — for the city's signature kosher and halal sectors — religious certification programs, each with its own audit trail. An effective independent audit picks one declared standard, walks the facility and records against it without the wishful thinking of self-assessment, and reports findings your team can close before the auditor with delisting or enforcement power arrives. We audit in French or English, matched to your floor.
If MAPAQ permits apply to your operation, yes — a combined scope costs little extra because hygiene, temperature control, and sanitation evidence overlap heavily. We add a Quebec regulatory module to the GFSI checklist covering permit conditions and provincial requirements, so one audit cycle protects you on both fronts.
Yes. Interviews with operators, review of French-language procedures and records, and the closing meeting can all run in French, with the findings report delivered bilingually if your corporate stakeholders need English. Auditing a francophone workforce in English produces shallower evidence — people describe what they actually do far better in their working language.
