About

FoodSafetyFirst.ca is a network of thousands of Canadians who are concerned about the safety of our food.

In this age of global trade and factory produced food, and in the wake of the Maple Leaf Foods tragedy that left 23 dead and dozens ill, FoodSafetyFirst.ca advocates for more and better government inspection and less industry self-policing when it comes to food safety.

The FoodSafetyFirst.ca network takes action in favour of better food safety protections and to expose the murky world of food policy-making that for too long has been influenced by industry at the expense of consumers and safety.

This site is sponsored by Canada’s food inspectors and their union, The Agriculture Union – PSAC.
