Experienced Leadership With an Auditor’s Perspective

Our consulting program is led by Dave Seddon, Chief Food Safety Officer and finalist for SQF Auditor of the Year. Dave has performed more than 500 successful audits across diverse industries, including dairy, meat, bakery, beverage, and produce facilities. His insight into how auditors evaluate documentation, process flows, and records gives Santa Fe Springs businesses a major advantage. Under Dave’s leadership, our consultants deliver more than general advice. This auditor-level perspective helps prevent surprises on audit day and supports long-term compliance.

Food Safety Programs Tailored to Santa Fe Springs

Our Santa Fe Springs food safety consultant team begins with a gap assessment to identify where your facility stands today. From there, we create or refine HACCP and FSMA Preventive Controls plans, SOPs, and checklists that align with your certification goals. We also establish and strengthen prerequisite programs, including allergen control, sanitation and SSOPs, supplier approval, traceability and recall systems, calibration, and pest management. Whether you operate a tortilla plant on Telegraph Road, a bakery serving Southern California, or a distribution warehouse supplying retail chains, we build programs that are right-sized for your operations.

FoodReady consulting covers HACCP, SQF, GMP, and GFSI-aligned certifications such as BRCGS and FSSC 22000. We also support FSMA Preventive Controls and FSMA 204 Traceability readiness, USDA and FDA documentation, recall exercises, and environmental monitoring. Each service is delivered as part of a cohesive system that your staff can maintain consistently, ensuring reliable compliance year after year.

Hands-On Support for Implementation

Food safety programs only succeed if they work in practice. Our consultants go beyond document preparation and collaborate with your QA, operations, and management teams to make sure systems are followed on the floor. We install procedures that match certification standards, train recordkeepers to maintain accurate logs, and verify system performance before the auditor arrives. With FoodReady’s mobile app, facilities can record floor checks, manage checklists, trend environmental monitoring, and track traceability. This ensures that your audit evidence is complete, organized, and ready to present at any time.
