The Ontario Food Protection Association provides a common forum for those associated with food safety in the food industry and enables those interested in food safety to exchange ideas, experiences and information. It sponsors and organizes meetings to inform members of new and improved methods in the safe hygienic production, transportation and processing and sale of food products. The OFPA recognizes those professionals making extraordinary contributions to food safety with the Board of Directors Award for Exceptional Merit, Honorary Life Membership and the Sanitarian of the Year Award. The OFPA also provides scholarships and awards for university and college students excelling in the fields of food microbiology and food safety. We are an affiliate of International Association of Food Protection
