Don’t Be Fooled on April 1st Be Ready for the New Food Safety Laws Wednesday, January 27, 2016 1:00pm – 2:00pm EST
This is a free Webinar for OTA Members!
The Ontario Trucking Association, in partnership with Iron Apple is pleased to offer a one-hour webinar on the new food safety laws coming into effect April 1st.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are introducing new regulations, effective April 1, 2016 for processing, storage, shipping, and transport of food products within North America.
Although these regulations do not impact trucking directly, carriers’ customers will likely expect their transportation providers that move human and animal food products to have a written food safety preventative controls plan in place. While many carriers today have a variety of mechanisms to ensure safe food transport, the new regulations present more stringent requirements related to certification, third party verification and record keeping.
The Canadian Trucking Alliance and Iron Apple International (formerly Kasar International) have developed a Hazard Analysis Critical Control
Points (HACCP) Trucking Program. Iron Apple’s Trucking Food Safety Program (TFSP) will ensure highway carriers meet all standards and requirements for sanitary transportation of food. The Iron Apple TFSP is 100 per cent compliant with new regulations and their certificate of compliance is based on the regulations in Canada and the USA. The program will also minimize waiting time for drivers (HOS) by keeping food safety records electronically.
Carriers in the food transport business or interested in moving into that sector are encouraged to attend this one-hour webinar to:
