Frequently Asked Questions - GMP Consultant in Winnipeg

What are Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) in food?
GMPs are the minimum sanitary and processing requirements for producing safe food. In Canada, GMPs are required under SFCR (Schedule 1) and include requirements for personnel hygiene, facility design, equipment maintenance, sanitation, pest control, and water quality. In the USA, GMPs are codified in 21 CFR Part 117.
Is GMP certification a separate certification from HACCP?
GMP is a prerequisite program (PRP) that underpins HACCP - not a separate certification. However, compliance with GMPs is assessed during CFIA inspections, HACCP audits, and GFSI certification audits. Strong GMP programs are the foundation of every successful food safety certification.
How does Iyarkai assess our GMP compliance?
We conduct a comprehensive on-site GMP inspection using regulatory checklists (CFIA, FDA 21 CFR 117, and GFSI-specific GMP requirements). We document every deficiency with photographs, assign risk ratings, and produce a prioritized corrective action plan.
What GMP training do you provide?
We offer role-specific GMP training: plant management (understanding regulatory obligations), production staff (personal hygiene, SOP compliance), sanitation staff (chemical safety, cleaning verification), and quality personnel (internal GMP auditing).

GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) Implementation in Winnipeg: What Makes It Different

GMP implementation in Winnipeg supports plants that run big and old: the city's commercial bakeries, mills, and protein facilities often occupy structures built decades ago, where sanitary design compromises, freeze-thaw building movement, and legacy equipment define the real GMP agenda. Under the SFCR these fundamentals are legally required supporting controls, and Manitoba Agriculture inspects provincially licensed sites against parallel expectations. We assess honestly, document programs matched to the building you have, and prioritize capital fixes by food safety return.

How do we prioritize GMP upgrades in an older Winnipeg facility on a limited budget?

By exposure: fix what sits above or beside open product first — condensation points, flaking overhead surfaces, unsealed penetrations in production zones — then receiving and storage integrity, then cosmetic and peripheral items. A documented, risk-ranked improvement plan with completion dates satisfies most auditors and inspectors even while items remain open; undocumented deficiencies with no plan are what generate findings.

What GMP records should we keep if we're provincially licensed, not federal?

Substantially the same set: sanitation records, pest control reports and trend review, equipment maintenance logs, staff training and hygiene policy acknowledgments, and water and chemical controls. Manitoba Agriculture inspects the practices, and any retail or GFSI customer will demand the records regardless of licence type — plus complete GMP documentation removes the biggest hurdle if you later pursue federal licensing.

What to Expect from Our GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) Implementation

Foundational GMPs that underpin every food safety system — building, equipment, personnel, sanitation, and pest control.
