The Guelph Food Research Centre is one of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's network of 19 research centres. Located in Guelph, the Centre specializes in food safety, quality and nutrition, and is committed to ensuring that food produced in Canada continues to be among the safest and of the highest quality in the world.

Research covers all aspects of food production, from the field to the fork. In addition to its focus on food quality and safety, much of the Centre's work is exploring the potential for conventional foods to offer nutritional and other therapeutic benefits. Scientists are also developing innovative methods to reduce food-borne biological and chemical hazards that may be present in farm commodities, fresh market and processed foods.

The Guelph Food Research Centre is a partner in many collaborative projects with industry, farm groups and the University of Guelph in the areas of product development, packaging, shelf life, food safety and the improvement of food quality and productivity.
