FAQs
How often do you need to update a Canadian Preventive Control Plan?
The plan must be updated when changes occur to a product or process. Developing a HACCP plan is one way to meet the SFCR requirements. A Canadian PCP must also address market fairness requirements. PCP plan records must be retained for two years.
What is the cost and turnover time for Sirocco to prepare a customized Canadian Preventive Control Plan?
Prices start at $1300 (CAD) for a custom plan and it takes our team seven business days to complete and deliver the PCP plan once we receive all the information needed about the foreign vendor(s) and imported products. Use our templates to create your own HACCP/PCP plan (manufacturing or import) and certify to HACCP. If you need assistance or need an expert to review your HACCP/PCP plans, we charge an hourly rate of $120 CAD. Budget 1-2 hours for the review.
