certification
Regulation
All Nutri Group grading stations are regulated by the federal Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Simply put, stations must comply with all applicable Canadian Food Safety Regulations (CFSR) and are therefore regularly visited by federal inspectors. Nutri Group’s quality assurance managers work diligently with inspectors to maintain and improve various aspects of food safety and industry regulation.
Certification
All Nutri Group grading stations are SQF (Safe Quality Food) certified. This certification is particularly relevant to our agreements with major retail chains, which require certified suppliers. Some Nutri Group grading stations are also certified organic.
Regulation
The Clean First – Clean Always™ food safety program, based on the HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) system, ensures that farm storage, cleanliness, air quality, feeding and record-keeping are first-rate, so Canadians can be confident that their eggs are safe.
The AQO program is built around five quality principles, which contribute to maintaining world-class standards:
Essential requirements
Our animal care and food safety requirements are scientifically informed and developed with input from industry stakeholders and third-party experts.
Verification
Producers are required to keep records to easily monitor program compliance.
Third-party verification
Professional inspections ensure that each farm meets all standards.
Continuous improvement
Standards are reviewed regularly, and requirements are updated according to new research and scientific data.
Producer commitment
A program of this magnitude spans an entire industry. The AQOMC brand involves the full participation of all regulated Canadian egg producers from coast to coast.

Animal welfare is at the heart of our values.
The health and well-being of our hens is an absolute priority for our producers.
For all types of housing, our Canadian producers and farmers are committed to ensuring laying hens’ well-being by adhering to the national Animal Care Program, rooted in a rigorous national code of practice: the Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Farm Animals.
The Animal Care Program (ACP)
The ACP recommends a series of animal care measures throughout the production cycle. It is the only program ensuring that animal care standards are applied and verified on every livestock farm in Canada.

Food is a major issue in the pursuit of sustainable development. Every little bit counts. Nutri Group wants to be part of the solution by offering its products responsibly.
The environment
and sustainable development
We are sensitive to environmental protection and are constantly on the lookout for good sustainable development practices. In fact, for several years now, the federation of egg producers has been working with farmers to bring about major changes, particularly in managing solid livestock waste. These initiatives have reduced the impact of production on air and water quality.
In the coming years, Nutri Group is committed to finding increasingly sustainable solutions.
At Nutri Group, we strive to provide a safe, pleasant and fair work environment for all our employees. Our human capital is our greatest asset.
