GAP Binder: Food Safety Program
A variety of resources have been developed to assist growers in following Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs). A complete hard copy binder of these resources is available to grower members on a first-come, first serve basis - contact BCBC to obtain your copy of the GAP binder. The full contents of the binder can also be downloaded below. The GAP binder was revised in March 2020 to meet new CanadaGAP program requirements. If you already have the older version, updates can be obtained by downloading new or revised items indicated below.
