Comprehensive Food Safety Consulting for
Connecticut Facilities

Connecticut’s food economy includes bakeries in New Haven, seafood processors along the shoreline, breweries and beverage co-packers in Hartford County, dairy facilities, and distributors serving major retailers across the Northeast. FoodReady develops HACCP and FSMA Preventive Controls plans, SOPs, and facility-specific checklists to fit each operation.

We also design prerequisite programs such as Allergen management, Sanitation and SSOPs, Supplier approval, Traceability and recall programs, Equipment calibration, Pest management, and Foreign material and glass control. Our Food Safety Consulting Connecticut services support HACCP, SQF, GMP, and GFSI certifications such as BRC and FSSC 22000. We also prepare facilities for FSMA Preventive Controls and FSMA 204 traceability compliance, USDA audits, and FDA documentation. Each solution is built as a cohesive system, not a collection of disconnected binders — helping your team sustain compliance year-round.

Practical Programs That Pass Audits & Support Operations

FoodReady focuses on developing systems that improve performance and pass audits without creating unnecessary paperwork. Partnering with our Connecticut food safety consultant team provides:

Reduced risk of audit findings, fines, and recalls
Stronger hazard analysis and preventive control verification
Programs designed around your products, people, and processes

FoodReady’s digital platform supports these processes by streamlining compliance management through tools that allow you to:

Capture daily floor checks and records
Assign and track digital checklists
