For Immediate Release

Mountain Dog Foods Awarded HACCP certification

Edmonton, Alberta (July 12, 2016) – Mountain Dog Foods is the first Canadian raw pet food manufacturer to be awarded the prestigious Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point System (HACCP) certification.  The HACCP certification is the world-wide standard in human food manufacturing.

“HACCP is a management system in which food safety is addressed through the analysis and control of biological, chemical and physical hazards from raw material production, procurement and handling, to manufacturing, distribution and consumption of the finished product” US Food and Drug Administration

Mountain Dog Foods was instrumental in setting the standard for the raw food industry in Canada under the Canadian Association of Raw Pet Food Manufacturers.

CARPFM was founded in 2007 by a group of concern raw food manufacturers who felt that frozen pet food required manufacturing standards: including independent third party inspection of the manufacturing facility, their material handling and documentation. Members in good standing have been inspected and have met or exceeded the association's Good Manufacturing Practices standards.   Mountain Dog has been certified by CARPFM continuously since 2009.

Achieving HACCP certification in addition to CARPFM certification reinforces Mountain Dog Food’s commitment to quality and food safety.

Mountain Dog Foods was established in 2000, with a commitment to providing safe and affordable raw pet food to pet owners throughout Canada
