Food safety for Ontario's agriculture industry

Does your farm take all the steps it can to prevent, detect and control food safety risks? With a coordinated plan, you can:

• help keep biological, chemical and physical hazards out of the food supply chain beginning at the farm level
• avoid major financial losses and damage to your farm's reputation due to an outbreak of food-borne illness
• run your farm more efficiently, with monitoring processes that will reduce errors and save you time and money
• meet consumer and markets' demand for safe food
• maintain or increase your competitiveness and market access

Now it's easier than ever to get started. Ontario offers many resources to help you follow the best practices for food safety. It's all part of the Advantage Good Agricultural Practices program.
