Our San Diego Food Safety Consultants Build Audit-Ready Programs—Statewide.
San Diego’s thriving food manufacturing sector spans from Otay Mesa’s cross-border operations to Miramar’s industrial complexes and Kearny Mesa’s distribution hubs. Your San Diego Food Safety Consultant transforms regulatory complexity into streamlined systems—developing risk-based HACCP plans, implementing FSMA Preventive Controls, establishing verification protocols, and preparing comprehensive audit packages. We navigate California’s strict food safety requirements alongside federal FSMA, USDA, and GFSI standards. Implementation-focused consulting that gets you certified without the theory—just practical Food Safety Consulting in San Diego that works.
Engage with an expedient process that is more than traditional consulting. Supported by a unique combination of veteran food safety experts and software intelligence, we get your Food Safety / HACCP programs ready to stay ready for any GFSI, BRC, SQF, or Retail Audit, in addition to State, USDA, or FDA inspections.
Dave Seddon, Chief Food Safety Officer at FoodReady, conducted over 500 SQF and GMP audits before becoming a consultant—earning recognition as an SQF Auditor of the Year finalist. His auditor-first approach means your San Diego facility gets documentation that anticipates questions, evidence that tells the compliance story, and training that builds operator confidence. Our Food Safety Consultants in San Diego leverage Dave’s insights to bridge the gap between what regulations require and what actually happens on your production floor, ensuring sustainable compliance across temperature zones, allergen controls, and cross-contamination prevention.
San Diego’s unique position as a border city with year-round growing seasons creates specific food safety challenges—from temperature control in coastal humidity to managing international supply chains through Tijuana. Whether you’re processing local avocados in Fallbrook, brewing craft beverages in North Park, manufacturing supplements in Sorrento Valley, or operating cold storage near the port, we develop San Diego-specific solutions that address your operational reality.
Our programs account for bilingual workforce considerations with Spanish-language SOPs and training materials, California Prop 65 compliance integrated with federal requirements, and cross-border supplier verification for Mexican produce and ingredients. We build temperature monitoring systems for San Diego’s variable microclimates, establish environmental monitoring protocols for high-humidity coastal operations, and create traceability systems that satisfy both FSMA 204 and California’s enhanced requirements.
San Diego facilities need more than generic templates—they need systems built for Southern California’s competitive market. Our Food Safety Consulting San Diego services deliver:
Implementation determines success—especially in San Diego’s fast-paced production environments where crews change shifts around the clock. We embed with your teams during critical control point establishment, train operators in their preferred language, and validate procedures during actual production runs.

The steps we take to help our San Diego clients pass a certification audit:
Gap Assessment
Our San Diego gap assessments go beyond checkbox reviews. We evaluate your facility during peak production to identify real-world challenges—from condensation issues in marine layer conditions to traffic flow during multi-product changeovers. We assess your Mexican supplier documentation, review your Preventive Controls qualified individual (PCQI) capabilities, and test your recall readiness with California’s strict reporting requirements. The resulting roadmap prioritizes fixes that auditors focus on first.
San Diego’s diverse food industry demands flexible documentation. We create multilingual HACCP plans with scientifically validated critical limits for your specific products, establish preventive controls addressing biological, chemical, physical, and radiological hazards, develop prerequisite programs from glass and brittle plastic through to integrated pest management. Your documentation package includes California-specific requirements like Prop 65 assessments, enhanced water testing protocols, and organic certification compatibility where applicable.
Environmental Monitoring
Program
San Diego’s coastal environment presents unique microbial challenges. We design zone-concept programs that account for open-air facilities, marine aerosols, and seasonal humidity spikes. Our protocols establish baseline data during dry seasons, intensify monitoring during June gloom and monsoon moisture, and include rapid response procedures for environmental positives. Digital trending identifies patterns before they become problems, protecting your brand and products.
We will deliver the best job with the best team.
