Contact Us TodayGMPs in Montreal underpin a double inspection reality — CFIA verifying the supporting programs behind your Preventive Control Plan, and MAPAQ inspecting hygiene and facility conditions under Quebec's food regulations. The city's food plants often occupy older buildings in districts like Saint-Michel and Anjou, where sanitary design workarounds, winter pest ingress, and equipment maintenance histories become the recurring GMP battlegrounds. We document programs your francophone and anglophone teams can actually execute, then verify they hold up on the floor.
The regulations require you to control sanitation, pest control, equipment design and maintenance, personnel hygiene and competence, and the physical conditions of the establishment — and if you require a PCP, these controls must be documented within it with records demonstrating implementation. Our gap assessment maps each SFCR provision to a written program and its evidence.
Age isn't the failure point; condition and cleanability are. Inspectors look for cracked or pitted food-contact surfaces, unclean-able dead spots, flaking materials, and maintenance done with temporary fixes like tape or string. A documented preventive maintenance program, surface condition assessments, and a replacement plan for the genuinely uncleanable items usually satisfies both CFIA and auditors.
Foundational GMPs that underpin every food safety system — building, equipment, personnel, sanitation, and pest control.
