Representation and support for the profession
By its status as an organization mandated by the State, the CTCPA has a role of representation of the food industry with the French and European public authorities, by participation in committees. We also have a role of technological and regulatory monitoring and dissemination of information to the whole sector. Finally, we provide technical support in the event of a crisis, whether it is individual to a company or more general, linked to a profession.
