Food & Health Protection Mobilization


The Global Coalition for Sustained Excellence in Food & Health Protection has been launched to encourage a worldwide mobilization to:

 protect public health
 promote regulatory compliance
 produce sufficient, nutritious, affordable and safe food (including safe water supply),
 produce reliable pharmaceutical and other health products
 keep products fresh and within reasonable shelf life
 avoid wastage
 ensure equitable and efficient distribution of food and health products
 encourage social responsibility
 maintain environmental sustainability
This small step can make a huge difference. If you think this mobilization makes sense, cast your vote in support.

SSQA Consultants and Trainers Events - The next stop could be near you:

If you provide food safety and quality management training services, you could become an SSQA training provider and your organization could serve as a training centre. Did you also know that consultants have the opportunity to receive SSQA enrolment commission?

Consultants and trainers who provide SSQA implementation services or training to their clients, may also submit a brief synopsis of their overall services and related information for FREE LISTING by GCSE-Food and Health Protection as a way of gaining additional exposure. You may contact the SSQA-D Team via the email address below for additional details.

GCSE-Food & Health Protection is planning SSQA program introduction and partner workshop events for Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton and Vancouver. We need a minimum of 50 participants to confirm each location and the number of participants will also determine the size and cost of the venue selected at that location – the more the number, the lower the cost. We are currently gathering the numbers. Please cast your vote for your nearest city by sending an email to the SSQA Team via the address below. The events will be scheduled according to the order in which the cities reach 50 participants or more. 

If you are interested in becoming an SSQA consultant or trainer and wishes to attend the event in any of these cities, please send an email to gcse@afisservices.com  indicating the city of your choice. The next stop could be near you. Even if a city near you is not named above, you could suggest one. There may be enough people wishing to attend the event in your suggested city.


You could qualify to receive a free copy of the SSQA implementation manual if:
 5 other participants indicate that you invited them to attend the event at your preferred city.
OR
You suggest a city and invite at least 4 other participants to the event.
OR
You are a food safety consultant or trainer and you help one of your clients to enroll in the SSQA Program.

"Quick, the inspector is coming"


Really, after more than a month since the widely reported illness outbreaks at restaurants belonging to the same chain, more people are being sickened? 

Clearly, the culture of “quick, the inspector is coming” does not help a restaurant or any food business for that matter. It's only a matter of time before propped-up compliance fails and luck runs out.
