Ohio’s Food Safety Consultants for Fast, Audit-Ready Certification.
From Columbus and Cleveland to Cincinnati, Toledo, and Akron, buyers and regulators across Ohio expect programs that are always audit ready. FoodReady’s Food Safety Consulting in Ohio helps companies large and small meet those expectations with practical, hands-on systems.
As your Ohio Food Safety Consultant, we review your documentation, perform gap assessments, and create or refine HACCP and Preventive Controls plans. We also implement GMP and PRP programs, manage records, and conduct mock audits so certification day is predictable. Whether you are preparing for HACCP, SQF, GMP, FSMA, USDA, FDA, or GFSI-aligned audits, our consultants deliver done-with-you systems that keep your operations running smoothly while passing inspections.
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.
Every project is led by Dave Seddon, FoodReady’s Chief Food Safety Officer. With more than 500 completed audits and recognition as an SQF Auditor of the Year finalist, Dave brings an auditor’s insight to every engagement. He understands what certifiers and regulators look for and helps Iowa food companies align their documentation, hazard analysis, and records with those expectations. Under his direction, our Food Safety Consultants in Iowa build systems that are not only compliant but also practical for your staff to run every day.
FoodReady offers a complete range of services from gap assessment through audit day. Ohio facilities face diverse challenges, from meat processors in Cincinnati and dairy producers in Amish Country to breweries in Cleveland and large distributors near Columbus. We support each with custom HACCP plans, Preventive Controls, and checklists that fit the way your plant operates. Our consultants also align prerequisite programs including allergen control, sanitation and SSOPs, supplier approval, traceability and recall, calibration, pest management, and foreign material control.
Our integrated Food Safety Consulting Ohio services prepare you for certification under HACCP, SQF, GMP, and GFSI programs such as BRCGS and FSSC 22000. We also help with FSMA Preventive Controls, FSMA 204 traceability compliance, and USDA/FDA documentation. Every program is delivered as a cohesive system, not a stack of scattered binders.

The steps we take to help our Ohio clients pass a certification audit:
Gap Assessment
We begin with a facility tour or virtual review. Our consultants evaluate product and personnel flows, zoning, sanitation controls, and documentation. You receive a prioritized action plan with critical-path items needed to reach certification on time.
Food Safety Document Development
We develop or refine HACCP and FSMA Preventive Controls plans, SOPs, and PRPs. This includes allergen control, supplier approval, recall and traceability programs. We also create forms, logs, and version-controlled records so your team can maintain consistency.
Environmental Monitoring
Program
For ready-to-eat and high-risk operations, we design monitoring programs that include zone mapping, swab frequencies, and pathogen control strategies for Listeria and Salmonella. FoodReady’s software schedules swabs, captures results, and trends data so you can respond quickly and show auditors clear evidence.
We will deliver the best job with the best team.
