Dataset Description
The National Microbiological Monitoring Program (NMMP) is a food surveillance program managed by the CFIA to support CFIA verification of industry compliance with food safety standards, provide information on the effectiveness of food safety control measures and interventions, facilitate access of Canadian food products to international markets, and maintain consumer confidence in the safety of the food supply. Under the NMMP, a broad range of imported and domestic food products are sampled by CFIA inspectors. These food products are frequently sampled at Safe Food for Canadians (SFC) licence holding establishments (i.e. those that produce food products that are exported or traded inter-provincially or those that import food products), which are inspected by CFIA inspectors, but samples may also be collected at other establishment types, such as warehouses, distribution centres, and wholesalers. All product and environmental samples collected under the NMMP are tested at CFIA laboratories.
