Food Safety Consulting Services

Food safety
does not have to
be complicated.

We work directly with your team to develop documented programs, training, and implementation strategies that ensure successful SQF and BRCGS audits — no matter the size of your operation. Professional guidance, practical solutions, real results.

What We Do

Consulting Services

Every program is developed and maintained specifically for your company — no matter how small or large. Compliance with customer demands and food safety regulations does not have to be overwhelming. We make it simple, structured, and achievable.

01
Third-Party GAP Assessment

A comprehensive, clause-by-clause review of your current food safety system against SQF or BRCGS standards. Every gap is identified, rated Critical, Major, or Minor, and documented in a written report with a prioritized corrective action roadmap tied to your audit date.

SQF · BRCGS · Remote Available
02
Internal Auditing

Independent internal audits conducted as a qualified third party — objective, thorough, and using the actual SQF or BRCGS audit checklist. A written audit report is delivered with all findings, risk ratings, and corrective action follow-up until every item is closed.

SQF · BRCGS · On-Site & Remote
03
SQF & BRCGS Audit Preparation

Full pre-audit readiness support — corrective action planning, documentation review, records verification, and a mock internal audit before your certification body arrives. Your team will know exactly what to expect and how to respond.

04
Customized Program Development

Development of food safety programs specifically designed for your operation — HACCP plans, SOPs, prerequisite programs, allergen control, sanitation, pest management, food defense, and supplier approval. Everything delivered in Word and Excel — it belongs to you.

SQF · BRCGS · FSMA · HACCP
05
Document Control Systems

Build a complete document numbering, version control, and master document list system — SQF and BRCGS compliant. One of the most common audit findings in food facilities, eliminated before the auditor ever walks through your door.

Hazard analysis, food safety plan development, supply chain preventive controls, and verification activities under 21 CFR Part 117. Serving as your designated PCQI consultant — building and maintaining your FSMA program as a certified, qualified professional.

Who We Help

Built for Operations Like Yours

We specialize in supporting small to mid-size food operations that need experienced, certified food safety leadership — without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.

🏭
No dedicated QA Manager on staff

Your facility has certification requirements but no one with the expertise to manage them full time. We step in as your part-time food safety resource — organizing your system, directing your team, and getting you audit-ready without the overhead of a full-time hire.

📅
Upcoming SQF or BRCGS audit

Your certification audit is approaching and you know gaps exist. We assess exactly where you stand, build a corrective action plan prioritized by risk, and work through every item with your team before your certification body walks in.

🤝
QA Manager support during busy season

Your QA Manager is overwhelmed during peak production or harvest season. We serve as experienced backup support — handling documentation, audits, corrective actions, or staff training — so your lead can focus where it matters most.

📄
Documentation gaps or missing programs

Your documents are incomplete, outdated, or have no version control. We build a complete, organized food safety documentation system that meets SQF and BRCGS requirements — structured, numbered, and ready for any auditor.

🛡
Brand Protection Through Food Safety

Working alongside your team, we design consulting services that improve safety measures to protect your brand from quality issues and reputational damage. A strong food safety system is not just about passing an audit — it is about protecting the business you have built, the customers you serve, and the reputation your company has earned in the marketplace.
