The FSTI provides cost share funding to individual businesses and producers to support the implementation or improvement of food safety or traceability systems for producers and processors. Applications are no longer being accepted for Intake 3 (2011-12) of the Food Safety and Traceability Initiative (FSTI). FSTI funding has been fully subscribed.
