Contact Us TodayFood safety consulting in Quebec City navigates a genuinely two-tier regulatory world: MAPAQ's permit and inspection regime governs the province's food businesses — including its mandatory hygiene and sanitation training requirements for food handlers and managers — while CFIA licensing applies the moment products cross provincial borders. The city's profile of artisan cheesemakers, craft brewers, maple product businesses, and mid-size processors means engagements often start provincial and grow federal as distribution expands beyond Quebec.
Quebec requires food establishments to have personnel trained in food hygiene and safety: a designated person with manager-level training present during operations, or handler-level training coverage, per MAPAQ's framework for the permit category. This is a genuine legal requirement, verified at inspection — not a best practice. We arrange recognized training in French for your team and align internal procedures to what the training teaches.
Interprovincial sale triggers federal jurisdiction: an SFC licence, a written Preventive Control Plan (with a possible exemption below $100,000 in annual food sales), and federal traceability requirements — plus English labelling alongside French for the broader Canadian market. Your MAPAQ compliance is the foundation, not the finish line. We manage the federal step so expansion doesn't stall on paperwork.
Comprehensive food safety advisory across HACCP, GMPs, GFSI schemes, and regulatory licensing — tailored to your business stage.
Engagement length varies — typical full-system rollouts run 8 to 24 weeks.
