In April 1998 CPC launched the Canadian Quality Assurance® Program, a HACCP-based program providing for food safety, product quality and production integrity. Sask Pork developed the program for Saskatchewan producers in conjunction with the Canadian Pork Council and Saskatchewan Agriculture and Food, Pork Central. That same year, the provincial government passed legislation that governs quality assurance programs for all sectors in Saskatchewan.

Sask Pork is the only licensed delivery agent for the program in the province. The first Saskatchewan producer was validated in June 1999. The program is ongoing with producers becoming validated and will likely be expanded to include national services coordination.
