We look forward to providing a broader array of food-safety services to members and clients,” said Petra Schennach, president and COO, GFTC.

NSF-GFTC will be based in Guelph, Ont., where it’s employees will help Canadian farmers, processors and manufacturers remain competitive, improving products and processes. The amalgamation will allow the NSF-GFTC to export Canadian food-safety expertise to other countries, using NSF’s global infrastructure.
