Component verification and compliance documentation under the Competition Act and Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act of Canada.
Quality assurance for Canadian pet food manufacturers
We cross-check guaranteed analysis values against published AAFCO profiles and Canadian labelling requirements. Discrepancies are flagged before they reach your production line.
Reduces recall risk by catching label mismatches early.Supplier claims like "free-range" or "no artificial preservatives" are verified against documentation and third-party certifications. We audit the paper trail so your marketing stays compliant under the Competition Act.
Protects your brand from misleading representation fines.Every multi-ingredient blend label is checked for mandatory elements: bilingual declarations, descending ingredient order, and net quantity accuracy per the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act.
Eliminates costly label reprints and regulatory delays.Each audit produces a clear, dated record of findings, corrective actions, and sign-offs. You get a defensible file for CFIA or Competition Bureau review.
Simplifies annual compliance reporting and inspections.We evaluate your current supplier agreements and marketing materials for false or misleading representations. Our checklist covers performance claims, origin statements, and comparative advertising.

We verify raw material compliance under the Competition Act and Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act — not as a checkbox, but as a documented process.
We audit against the actual sections of the Competition Act (s. 52, 74.01) and the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act (s. 10, 14). Our checklists are built from CFIA enforcement guidelines, not generic ISO templates. This means your compliance documentation holds up during a federal inspection.
When a supplier labels a protein blend as “grain-free” or “no artificial preservatives,” we verify the claim against production records, ingredient receiving logs, and third-party lab results. We flag unsupported claims before they reach your label — and before the Competition Bureau does.
Every multi-ingredient blend we audit gets a full label review: French and English net quantity declarations, descending ingredient order, and proper common name listings. We catch errors like missing bilingual statements or incorrect metric units — the most common CFIA non-compliance findings in pet food.
Each engagement produces a signed audit report, a corrective action log, and a secure document package with timestamps and reviewer credentials. If a regulator or a retailer requests proof of due diligence, you hand them a folder — not a promise.
