FIRST NATIONS WILDCRAFTERS, BC specializing in cultural resources and other value added forest products and services |
First Nations Wildcrafters, BC utilizes Quality Assurance Standards based upon
International standards of Good Agricultural Collection Practices (GACP)
developed by the Canadian Herb, Spice and Natural Health Products Coalition
(CHSNC). We are honored to one of the Bristish Columbia representatives of the
CHSNC.
Our business was featured in the December 2008 Canadian On Farm Food
Safety newsletter in an article titled "Traditional Forest Foods and Medicine
Systems".
We operate with a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) based
Good Agricultural Collection Practice model that has been approved by the World
Health Organization, Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and Canadian On Farm
Food Safety Program.
Our product traceability program begins at the forest floor point of harvest and
throughout our operation to the point of sale to our customer.
In 2008 we became the first wild foods business in British Columbia to fully
incorporate GACP HACCP based practices integrated from the forest resource
management, to the point of harvesting and into our quality product grading and
shipping that our customers receive.
In 2009 our business was chosen for a Case Study by the BC Ministry of
Agriculture and Lands Sustainable Agriculture Branch as a model of integrating
Traditional Practices with GACP HACCP based wild harvest operations.
In 2009 our business was also chosen by the BC Ministry of Agriculture and
Lands Sustainable Agriculture Branch to conduct a gap and needs analysis to be
used to develop GACP HACCP based training materials and training tools for the
wild foods industry sector in British Columbia.
In 2010, First Nations Wildcrafters, BC was chosen by the BC Ministry of
Agriculture to develop and implement BC Specific Supplemental Training
Materials to provide BC specific training for implementing the GACPs in British
Columbia.
First Nations Wildcrafters, BC is certified by the Canadian Herb, Spice, and
Natural Health Products Coalition to provide training in GACPs. We are also
working on a national pilot project to further develop wild harvested foods
traceability beyond "one up one down" models.
Quality Assurance, Food Safety, and Traceability are core values we incorporate
into our business operations. We are committed to continuing to be a wild foods
sector industry leader in development of food safety and best management
practices for our forest harvested products.
