360training Acquires Canadian Food Safety Group

AUSTIN, Texas — 360training.com, a developer of regulated online training and workforce compliance solutions, announced the acquisition of select assets of Canadian Food Safety Group, including its SafeCheck Learning and SafeCheck Safety brands, proprietary course content, certification programs and related web domains. This acquisition strengthens 360training's food and beverage portfolio and expands its presence in the Canadian compliance training market.

The SafeCheck brands will continue serving Canadian food service professionals under 360training's ownership.

Established in 1999, Canadian Food Safety Group has issued nearly 900,000 food safety certifications. The organization is recognized for delivering provincially approved and recognized food handler training programs that meet the unique regulatory requirements across Canada, said 360training.

Expanding in Regulated North American Markets.

Canadian Food Safety Group serves independent food operators, national restaurant brands, hospitality groups and enterprise employers seeking certification and compliance solutions in a complex and evolving regulatory environment.

Unlike many regional training providers, Canadian Food Safety Group operates within a regulatory framework that varies by province, requiring close alignment with local public health authorities and certification standards, according to the company.

With brands such as Learn2Serve and TIPS, 360training has supported food and beverage professionals across the United States. The addition of Canadian Food Safety Group and its SafeCheck brands expands that commitment into Canada, said 360training, reinforcing its strategy of growth through targeted acquisitions in regulated, compliance-driven markets.

“Food safety compliance is increasingly complex, especially for brands operating across multiple jurisdictions,” said Tom Anderson, CEO of 360training. “Canadian Food Safety Group brings deep provincial expertise and trusted brands like SafeCheck, and together we can deliver scalable, technology-enabled solutions that support food service operators throughout both Canada and the United States.”

As public health regulations continue to evolve, food service employers face growing pressure to maintain workforce certification, documentation accuracy and audit readiness, said 360training. By integrating SafeCheck and SafeCheck Safety into its compliance ecosystem, 360training enhances its ability to serve single-location businesses, franchise systems and multi-unit enterprises operating across provincial and national boundaries, the company said.

"Our mission has always centered on helping businesses navigate complex regulatory environments," said Samantha Montalbano, COO of 360training. "By combining Canadian Food Safety's jurisdiction-specific expertise with our scalable compliance training infrastructure, we're positioned to deliver a broader range of accredited food safety programs that meet provincial standards while offering a seamless digital learning experience."

Domenic Pedulla, president of Canadian Food Safety Group, highlighted the strategic alignment behind the transaction.

"Our mission has always been to help food service professionals meet provincial requirements with clarity and confidence," said Pedulla. "Partnering with 360training allows us to expand that mission through enhanced technology, enterprise-level reporting capabilities, and the backing of a global compliance organization, while continuing to deliver the trusted certification programs our customers depend on."
