Recognition

"Jensen's Wilton Cheese Factory is the first cheese factory in

Eastern Ontario and the third in Canada to receive the federal designation."

"It is no small achievement because it means these companies

can sell their products not only in Canada but world wide.

Without HACCP designation markets would be restricted;

for example, no meat can be exported to the United States

unless it comes from a HACCP plant."

"We consider these plants to be pioneers as we note

there are only 190 food plants in all of Canada to achieve this honour."
