TPLR Honey Farms Ltd. has incorporated the “National Bee Farm-Level Biosecurity Standard” into our beekeeping management practices.  Farm-level biosecurity is a series of management practices that are designed to minimize the introduction and spread of disease-causing pathogens, parasites, insect pests, and predators (referred to collectively as pests) onto, within, and beyond the farm.

TPLR Honey Farms Ltd., has fully incorporated the “Canadian Bee Industry Safety Quality Traceability Program” (CBISQT) into our honey production management.  The purpose of the CBISQT Producer Manual is to highlight the on-farm food safety risks in the production and primary processing of raw honey and to provide the necessary food safety assurance procedures and document controls for an operational food safety system scaled to the Canadian producer.

All of TPLR Honey Farms Ltd., exports to Japan meet the requirements of the “Export Protocols for Alberta Honey going to Japan”.  This document was created by the Alberta Beekeepers Commission, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, the Alberta-Japan Office and Japanese honey buyers.  The requirements for exporting honey to Japan are among the highest in the world, and Alberta was the first province in Canada to take the initiative to comply with these requirements.

To ensure that our honey is stored and shipped in the safest manner possible, all of our honey is packaged in brand new 45 gallon steel drums that are certified for food use by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).  These barrels also comply with the Canadian barrel standards as stipulated by the CFIA and the Canadian Honey Council.
