HACCP certification in Montreal at a glance
HACCP is the old grammar of food safety, and it matters wherever food moves through Montreal: kitchens, plants in the Pointe-de-l'Île sector where biofood is a stated priority, and cold stores serving the Port de Montréal's temperature-controlled trade. The method is simple to state and demanding to keep up. List hazards at each step, decide which steps are critical control points, set measurable limits, monitor them, define corrective actions, verify the plan and keep records. The discipline underpins ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000 too. Montreal food businesses are served from Sterling's Toronto office; an accredited certification body can assess the plan where a customer wants a certificate.

HACCP in Montreal: questions clients ask
What does a HACCP plan look like for a Montreal cold-chain operator?
It names the hazards in storage and handling, sets critical limits such as temperature, defines monitoring and corrective actions, and keeps verifying records. For a cold-chain operator, temperature logging and response to excursions are central. Sterling builds the plan around the real flow of goods.
Is HACCP certification needed to sell food made in eastern Montreal?
A certificate is not a Montreal requirement, though a written hazard control plan is expected under food rules and by buyers. The Canada page covers the national regime. Ask your customers whether they want a third-party certificate, and check provincial duties with the authority.
