FOOD SAFETY PROGRAM SCHEDULE

Purpose

Wonder Brands Inc. doing business as Maison Longueuil Boulangerie (“Maison”) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of food safety, quality, and regulatory compliance across its global supply chain.

The purpose of this Food Safety Program (the “Program”) is to ensure that safe, high‑quality, and consistent products reach Maison’s customers and consumers. This Program is designed to support compliance with all applicable food safety laws and regulations, including, as applicable:

• the Safe Food for Canadians Act and Safe Food for Canadians Regulations;
• applicable provincial legislation, including the laws of the Province of Quebec;
• the U.S. Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and regulations enforced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), where ingredients or materials are sourced from, or subject to, U.S. jurisdiction.
  

This Schedule highlights key elements of the Program that all Suppliers must comply with. It does not exhaustively describe all food safety obligations and does not supersede any rights or obligations set out in purchase orders, supply agreements, or other written agreements with Maison.

Supplier Responsibility

Each Supplier is responsible for:

• complying with and implementing this Schedule;
• maintaining effective food safety and quality systems;
• providing Maison with accurate, complete, and current documentation upon request; and
• implementing corrective actions and action plans, where required, subject to Maison approval prior to implementation.

MAPAQ Compliance

Where Suppliers or facilities operate in, or supply products for use or sale in, the Province of Quebec, Suppliers shall comply with all applicable requirements administered by the Ministère de l’Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l’Alimentation du Québec (MAPAQ), including but not limited to licensing, inspection, sanitation, traceability, food safety, and recall obligations.

Suppliers shall cooperate fully with MAPAQ and provide access to records, facilities, and personnel as required by applicable Quebec law.

Third Party Food Safety Certification

Global Food Safety Certification

Suppliers are required to maintain certification under a Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) recognized scheme at each applicable facility, as a minimum standard, unless otherwise approved by Maison. Suppliers shall provide current audit reports and certificates prior to approval and shall maintain annual certification.

Alternative Certification and Audits

Where GFSI certification is not available or not applicable, Suppliers must provide alternative third‑party food safety audit documentation demonstrating compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) principles or submit to Maison‑initiated audits.

Questionnaire and Risk Assessment

Suppliers without acceptable third‑party certification may be required to complete a food safety questionnaire used by Maison to conduct a risk assessment and determine Supplier approval status.

Maison Supplier Audits

Maison may conduct, or require third‑party audits of, Supplier facilities based on risk level, regulatory requirements, or other relevant factors.

FSMA and Preventative Controls (U.S. Related Supply)

Where a Supplier is subject to U.S. jurisdiction or supplies ingredients sourced from the United States, the Supplier shall comply with applicable FSMA requirements, including:

• risk‑based hazard analysis;
• implementation of preventive controls;
• maintenance of a food safety plan; and
• designation and training of one or more Preventive Controls Qualified Individuals (PCQI), where required.
  

These requirements apply only where legally applicable and do not replace or override Canadian food safety obligations.

Foreign Supplier Verification Program

Where applicable, importers and Suppliers involved in U.S.‑origin ingredients shall comply with the FSMA Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP). Unless expressly agreed in writing, Maison does not assume the statutory role of FSVP importer and relies on the legally responsible importer to fulfill all FSVP obligations.

Facility and Ingredient Change Notification

Suppliers shall notify Maison in writing of any material changes to facilities, ingredients, formulations, allergens, country of origin, GMO status, packaging, or processing methods prior to implementation. No changes may be made without Maison’s prior written consent.

Allergen Controls

Suppliers shall maintain documented allergen management and control programs appropriate to the products supplied, including, where applicable:

• identification of allergens present in raw materials, ingredients, and finished products;
• controls to prevent allergen cross-contact during manufacturing, handling, storage, and transportation;
• validated cleaning and sanitation procedures where allergen changeovers occur;
• verification of accurate allergen labeling and ingredient declarations; and
• training of personnel involved in allergen handling.

Suppliers shall immediately notify Maison in writing of any actual or potential allergen-related incident, including undeclared allergens, cross-contact risks, or labeling errors, and shall cooperate fully in any resulting investigation, corrective action, or recall.

Food Safety Documentation

Suppliers shall maintain all food safety and quality records required by applicable law and this Schedule and shall make such records available to Maison upon request. Suppliers must promptly notify Maison of any expirations, suspensions, cancellations, or material changes affecting food safety documentation.

Testing and Verification

Suppliers shall maintain risk‑based testing programs appropriate to the nature of the products supplied and identified hazards. Where Maison requests testing, Suppliers shall cooperate fully, including arranging third‑party laboratory testing where required and holding product until acceptable results are confirmed.

Traceability

Suppliers supplying products, ingredients, or materials for use or sale in Quebec shall maintain traceability systems in accordance with applicable Quebec requirements, including the ability to identify:

• the immediate Supplier of the product or ingredient; and
• the immediate customer or recipient of the product or ingredient.
  

Suppliers shall maintain records sufficient to support one-step forward and one-step back traceability and shall be able to provide such records to Maison within twenty-four (24) hours of request, or sooner where required by law or in the event of a food safety incident or recall.

Recall and Withdrawal

Suppliers shall maintain a documented recall and withdrawal procedure and shall immediately notify Maison of any actual or potential recall, market withdrawal, or food safety incident involving products supplied to Maison. Notification shall be made without delay by telephone and email using the contact information provided by Maison.

Suppliers shall cooperate fully with Maison, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), the FDA, and any other applicable regulatory authority.

Mock Recall Testing

Suppliers shall conduct periodic mock recall or traceability exercises to verify the effectiveness of their recall and traceability procedures.

Mock recall exercises shall be conducted at a frequency appropriate to the Supplier’s risk profile and regulatory requirements, and at least once every twelve (12) months where required by applicable law or third-party certification standards.

Upon request, Suppliers shall provide Maison with documentation demonstrating the execution and results of such mock recall exercises, including timelines, affected products or lots, and any corrective actions identified.

Recall Reporting Information

When reporting a recall or withdrawal, Suppliers may be required to provide the following information, as applicable:

• Product name and description;
• Size, pack format, bulk or retail configuration;
• Product codes, lot codes, date codes, and expiration dates;
