Good Veterinary Practice (GVP) Approval
Animals require high-quality veterinary care to ensure their health and well-being. Veterinarians play a crucial role in providing competent and up-to-date veterinary services, maintaining positive relationships with pet owners and peers, and operating ethically. The veterinary field encompasses various important aspects related to animal health, disease treatment, public health, biosecurity, and ethical environmental practices. With the expanding mandate of food control authorities, the focus now extends to the entire domestic food supply chain, from production to consumption.
Benefits of Implementation and Approval Certification
Certifying your food safety management system with Good Veterinary Practice (GVP) requirements through ACS Canada is a strategic approach to prepare for regulatory audits and client second-party audits, including those from major retailers. This certification ensures compliance with regulations while demonstrating your organization’s commitment to food safety and animal health.
Many farms have utilized the GVP Approval scheme as a foundation for implementing and integrating other quality and food safety management systems, such as HACCP and ISO 22000.
The GVP certification from ACS Canada validates that organizations have a food safety management system aligned with GVP requirements, ensuring the integrity of the veterinary process and compliance with food safety regulations.
