What is the OFPA?
The Ontario Food Protection Association provides a common forum for those associated with food safety in the food industry and enables those interested in food safety to exchange ideas, experiences and information. It sponsors and organizes meetings to inform members of new and improved methods in the safe hygienic production, transportation and processing and sale of food products. And, the OFPA provides all members with the Association’s award winning newsletter Prophylaxis.
The OFPA recognizes those professionals making extraordinary contributions to food safety with the Board of Directors Award for Exceptional Merit, Honorary Life Membership and the Sanitarian of the Year Award. The OFPA also provides scholarships and awards for university and college students excelling in the fields of food microbiology and food safety.
OFPA members include food safety professionals from every facet of the food industry: Meat and Poultry, Bakery, Brewery, Fruits and Vegetables, Processed Meats, Dairy, Snack Foods, Foodservice, Beverage, Fish and Prepared Foods. In addition, our members represent food manufacturers from all commodities, supply and service businesses (i.e. sanitation supplies and equipment), as well as municipal, provincial and federal governments, academia, research and testing laboratories, and public health.
