Description
In order to ensure appropriate and consistent quality of medicinal/herbal substances, it is necessary to establish good practices in growing, harvesting, and processing operations. Canada’s Access to Cannabis for Medicinal Products Regulations (ACMPR) requires Licensed Producers to implement and adhere to Good Production Practices (GPP). In Europe, European Medicinal Agency (EMEA) requires adherence to Good Agricultural and collection Practices (GACP) for growing and harvesting. Both GACP and GPP are designed to ensure full traceability back to the seed source for each crop. Following GACP and GPP standards ensures that only the highest quality plants are grown and harvested.

Course Overview
The Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR) came into force on January 15, 2019. This course will provide guidance to the food industry on the regulatory changes introduced by the SFCR. At the end of the course, participants will be able to understand the regulatory requirements that need to be met, apply for licence, identify and implement changes to company’s Preventative Controls to meet the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s (CFIA’s) requirements.
Benefit of the SFCR:
For trading partners abroad, it means that they can continue to buy with confidence, knowing that food produced in Canada meets internationally recognized safety standards.
For industry, the SFCR’s outcome-based regulations mean innovation and the production of safer food. Businesses can better avoid costly recalls, be more competitive at home and abroad, and increase their growth potential by accessing an even greater number of international markets.

Abstract:
Regulatory Agencies require written procedures for all systems and operations which impact the quality and safety of pharmaceutical products. SOPs provide the main forum for the documentation of a Company’s systems, processes and operations. SOPs are therefore the most popular documents audited by Regulatory Agencies during GMP inspections to ensure they reflect current practices that follow regulatory requirements and they are followed as written.
Effective SOPs lead a company not only to consistency, quality and compliance but also to executing efficient business operations. Often SOPs are written without consultation with the end user or by someone who has good writing skills but little experience of the topic. They can include too much information, making them difficult to follow or too little detail causing them to be ambiguous. Such SOPs can lead to audit observations that the SOPs had not been followed or did not reflect current or acceptable practices.
This course is designed to provide helpful information and essential training towards achieving effective SOPs. It includes topics relevant to the writing, formatting, execution and management of SOPs and relates to the role which SOPs play in achieving the required level of compliance and quality.
