The Canadian PCP for
processors & importers.
FoodReport AI walks you through every part of the CFIA Preventive Control Plan template — applicability, product & process description, prerequisite programs, hazard analysis, CCP determination, importer and export addendums — and produces a binder built for SFCR sections 86-89.
Two audiences, one PCP that fits both
The CFIA template applies whether you process food in Canada or import it. FoodReport AI adapts the content, applicability table and addendums to your licence activities.
Build hazard analysis by process step, run the CCP decision tree, write monitoring and corrective action procedures, and capture verification & reassessment evidence the way CFIA inspectors expect.
- Product & process description with allergens, shelf life, intended use
- Hazard analysis: biological, chemical, physical, allergen, radiological
- CCP determination with critical limits, monitoring, corrective actions
- Sanitation, hygiene, water/ice/steam, pest, maintenance prerequisite programs
Demonstrate how foreign suppliers meet SFCR equivalency, document incoming verification, and prove your imported-product traceability one-up / one-down.
- Importer addendum: foreign supplier approval, COAs, equivalency evidence
- Receiving criteria, temperature on arrival, container & seal verification
- Imported meat storage controls (SFCR Part 6) when applicable
- Recall readiness for imported lots — customer & CFIA notification flow
Every section of the CFIA PCP template, guided
Mirrors the CFIA fillable Preventive Control Plan template from cover page to addendums. Mark sections complete, lock revisions and export a clean binder.

Cold chain, segregation, temperature checks, rejection criteria — for both domestic and imported lots.
Approved suppliers, COAs, foreign supplier equivalency evidence, incoming verification and risk review.
Lot coding, one-up/one-down records, mock recall, CFIA notification and recall summary.
Bilingual compliance, allergen declaration, claims, net quantity, grades, standards and label reconciliation.
Internal audits, calibration, product testing, annual PCP review and trigger-based reassessment.
Topics, audience, competency verification, refresher cadence and CAR investigation with root cause.
Importer-specific evidence pack, plus export addendum for destination-specific requirements and certificates.
Mapped to the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations
Each section cites the relevant SFCR range so your CFIA inspector can trace requirement to evidence.
A PCP an importer can actually defend at the border
The CFIA template includes an importer-specific addendum. We pre-fill it with the foreign supplier evidence, receiving controls and recall steps your inspector will ask for.
- Foreign supplier identity, country of origin and CFIA licence (where required)
- Equivalency evidence: third-party audit, GFSI certificate, or supplier PCP review
- Receiving criteria: container seal, temperature on arrival, documentation pack
- Imported meat storage controls and segregation (SFCR Part 6)
- One-up / one-down traceability for every imported lot
- Recall procedure tailored to imported product, with CFIA notification timing
