What to consider before applying for a Safe Food for Canadians licence?

[cfcagency]

Before applying for a Safe Food for Canadians licence, businesses should confirm if their activities—such as importing, exporting, or interprovincial trade—require one. Prepare a Preventive Control Plan (PCP) if mandated, and ensure traceability systems are in place. Create a My CFIA account to manage applications and payments. Consider your licence structure based on your operations. Reviewing commodity categories and licensable activities will help streamline the process.
