Just started a new job.  The main office and 1 processing plant is in BC Canada.  They are opening a plant in WA - hoping to begin production in March.
I'm in the process of tweaking our existing SOPs and other forms to fit our new US plant. 

 

Some of the forms reference CFIA, I can't seem to find that the US equivalent would be. What would it be?

I'm coming from a background of Seafood plants that are SQF certified.  
This plant makes meat alternative foods and is BRC certified.

USDA if it's meat.  The United States Department of Agriculture.  

 

Website is usda.gov

It's plant-based meat alternative.  Would that still be USDA?

I've worked with USDC quite a bit but haven't done much with USDC.

alternative would be FDA.

 

Have a client that just started plant based (pea protein) division and it falls under FDA and not USDA.

Oops.  My reading comprehension was a little off.

 

FDA.gov for most not meats.

FDA covers plant based foods at the consumer/retail level.
