The Process - Strategy
In 2002 CCGD and CFIG (Independent Grocers) undertook an assessment
of food safety practices and programs in the industry.
Results indicated:
•
•
•
A lot of work being done in the industry and the supply chain
Food safety issues increasing in importance with consumer/governments and
industry
Need for consistent national industry programs and standards
Identified three areas of need:
•
•
•
Science based food safety program for warehousing
Science based food safety program for retail
Science based food safety program for trucking/transportation
Action items were to focus on retail and warehousing.
Canadian Trucking Alliance and Kasar Canada developed trucking program.

Identify leverage opportunities
Develop program/standards building on available materials
Draft document review (Peer review)
Pilot test
Revisions

Testing & Revisions
Both programs were extensively field (pilot) tested
Pilot testing viewed as vital to success of the project to provide:
•
•
•
•
Verification of the committee work
Feedback on usability and accuracy of the programs
Guidance on implementation challenges
Accuracy of document translation
Warehouse program was tested in 5 warehouses across Canada
Retail program was tested in over 20 locations in two separate pilot testing
sessions.
Programs were amended based on committee review of pilot outcomes.
Need for additional work/tools was identified

Implementation Strategy & Deployment
CCGD food safety programs are considered final when:
1. They are endorsed by the CCGD Food Safety and Regulatory Affairs
Committee, who then provides a recommendation for Board approval
2. An accompanying implementation strategy for the program has been developed
by the CCGD Food Safety and Regulatory Affairs Committee
3. CCGD’s Board of Directors approves the program and its implementation
strategy.
CCGD supports the voluntary implementation of food safety programs
The deployment of any implementation strategy will be supported with
member awareness and education efforts.
