Contact Us TodayFederally-licensed food businesses in Quebec City prepare for CFIA inspection knowing a second regulator shares the field: MAPAQ holds provincial jurisdiction over food sold within Quebec, with its own permits and inspection program, while CFIA verifies SFCR compliance for interprovincial, import, and export activities. Preparation here means a records system that answers both inspectorates without duplication — and, practically, documentation and staff who can engage a CFIA verification conducted in French, as inspections in the region typically are.
CFIA verifies your Preventive Control Plan and SFCR obligations — licence scope, traceability, recall readiness — while MAPAQ inspects under provincial law for Quebec-market activities, with its own permit categories and hygiene standards. The underlying evidence overlaps heavily: sanitation, temperature control, training. We prepare one records architecture tagged to both regulators, so either inspector finds a coherent system rather than parallel binders.
In the Quebec City region, verification visits are routinely conducted in French, and your documentation can be entirely French — CFIA operates in both official languages. The preparation point is consistency: if your PCP is in French, the monitoring records, training materials, and staff explanations should match it. We run mock inspections in French so the team practices in the language the real visit will use.
