Our Work
SQF Gap Assessment:
We have conducted many program reviews for many food facilities and typically find that there are discrepancy between the requirements and documentation. Therefore, we typically start with a gap assessment.
Although the client has a HACCP plan and recently passed their HACCP audit, our gap assessment indicated that the HACCP plan is not effectively written and not in compliance with SQF edition 9 requirements.
Next Step: Program Development
We delivered the gap assessment report with a comprehensive recommendation on how to improve their procedures to comply with SQF requirements.
Client has chosen to use our SQF template to build their food safety procedures while entrusting us to build their HACCP plan, US FSMA plan and Canadian SFCR Preventive Control Plan.
We also assist our client by supporting them using the template to build their food safety procedures.
Result
The client passed their food safety audit within 3 months, scoring over 90 in their first SQF audit.
