On-Farm Food Safety Program

The On-Farm Food Safety Program (OFFSP) is a national program that is overseen by Turkey Farmers of Canada. It helps Canadian turkey farmers establish and follow a variety of protocols on their farms to ensure that
consumers receive safe, quality turkey products.

The program details specific steps to reduce and control potential food-safety hazards on turkey farms across Canada. It incorporates biosecurity procedures and requires detailed on-farm record keeping and documentation. The BC Turkey Marketing Board audits all registered turkey farmers in BC on a regular basis to ensure compliance with the program.

​The OFFSP has passed technical review by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), indicating that it is based on sound science and meets all Canadian regulatory requirements.
