ABOUT
Food safety is an essential element in the sound operation of establishments that are part of the biofood chain.

The application of simple precautions can prevent food poisoning and food-borne infections and protect consumers’ health.
Every operator of an establishment that prepares food must ensure that one or more of its employees are trained in and maintain food hygiene and food safety.
Obtaining this certification is a legal obligation for anyone who operates a food establishment. For more details, visit the MAPAQ website.
