Contact Us TodaySaskatoon's export-heavy processing sector means most local food businesses of any scale need an SFC licence — and with it, a written Preventive Control Plan under the SFCR. For pulse and grain processors the PCP's hazard analysis has a distinctive shape: field-origin hazards like mycotoxins and pesticide residues, Salmonella control in dry environments, foreign material at high throughput, and allergen management where mustard — a priority allergen in Canada and a major Saskatchewan crop — moves through shared handling systems.
As a named control: mustard is on Canada's priority allergen list, and cross-contact through shared conveying, storage, or milling equipment is a genuine hazard CFIA expects your PCP to analyze. Controls typically combine dedicated equipment or validated clean-outs, sequencing, incoming-load documentation, and precautionary labelling decisions backed by the risk assessment rather than applied by default.
The PCP must reflect current operations, so commodity changes, new equipment, or new suppliers trigger reassessment — and the SFCR expects you to keep the plan current, not just written once. For seasonal processors we build an annual review cycle timed to pre-season, covering crop-year hazard updates like regional mycotoxin conditions, supplier changes, and any process modifications since last review.
