Canada "Specialty Foods" Directory Application

We are pleased to announce the creation of a new web-based specialty foods directory for Canada.

The Small Scale Food Processor Association invites all specialty food processors and producers to participate in a new online, Canada-wide directory of Canada-processed specialty foods and Canada-grown specialty foods. The SSFPA is creating the directory, but participants do not have to be SSFPA members. Our goal is to provide small-scale processors and producers throughout the country with greater access to alternative sales channels and a simpler, faster and more convenient way for the food service industry to source local foods.

The Canada Specialty Foods Directory will provide a new market channel for many small-scale processors and producers in the country. And it will provide much easier access for food service buyers who want to source local, specialty foods.

To be included in the Canada Specialty Foods Directory, please check the entry criteria and complete this questionnaire and follow directions for submission as outlined below.
