Kentucky’s Food Safety Consultants for Fast, Audit-Ready Certification.
From Louisville and Lexington to Bowling Green, Owensboro, and Covington, food manufacturers and distributors across Kentucky face increasing expectations from buyers, retailers, and regulators to maintain compliant, audit-ready systems. FoodReady’s Food Safety Consulting in Kentucky helps facilities statewide design and implement practical, sustainable programs that meet certification and inspection standards without disrupting production.
As your Kentucky Food Safety Consultant, we provide gap assessments, HACCP and FSMA Preventive Controls plans, GMP and PRP implementation, documentation support, and mock audits. Whether you’re pursuing HACCP, SQF, GMP, FSMA, USDA, FDA, or GFSI-aligned certification, our consultants deliver done-with-you systems your staff can manage confidently every day.
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.
Kentucky’s food sector is known for its diversity, from poultry operations in Western Kentucky and beverage bottlers in Bardstown to dairy processors and cold storage facilities near Louisville and Lexington. FoodReady’s consulting services are built to address the needs of each of these segments, combining regulatory knowledge with on-the-ground experience. We start with a detailed evaluation of your facility and documentation, performing a full gap assessment to identify what is working and what needs attention. Then, we create or refine HACCP and FSMA Preventive Controls plans that address your specific process flows, hazards, and critical control points.
Our consultants integrate these with practical operating procedures, ensuring your sanitation, allergen management, supplier approval, traceability, and maintenance programs align with the certification you’re pursuing. Each system we develop is designed to function cohesively, meaning your documentation, logs, and verification records all align seamlessly. This approach avoids fragmented paperwork or duplicated processes that confuse staff and delay audits. Instead, FoodReady delivers structured, verifiable programs that can be used daily and trusted during inspections.
Our Food Safety Consulting Kentucky services cover HACCP, SQF, GMP, and GFSI certifications such as BRC and FSSC 22000, while also supporting FSMA Preventive Controls, FSMA 204 traceability compliance, and USDA/FDA documentation requirements. We ensure every program integrates compliance, training, and technology for lasting operational control.
At FoodReady, our focus is simple: helping Kentucky food businesses build systems that not only pass audits but also strengthen their production consistency and quality control. We eliminate unnecessary paperwork and focus on what certifiers actually require—clear evidence of control, verification, and improvement.
Working with our Kentucky Food Safety Consultant team gives you more than compliance checklists. You gain a structured framework for preventive controls, documentation, and verification that improves efficiency, reduces non-conformances, and strengthens customer trust. Our clients regularly see faster retailer approvals, reduced downtime during audits, and fewer findings from state or federal inspectors.
We design programs around your products, your people, and your workflow. Whether you’re a bourbon bottler in Bardstown, a poultry processor in Hopkinsville, or a snack co-packer near Lexington, we help you maintain a program that functions daily, not just during audit season.
FoodReady’s consulting doesn’t stop with documentation. Our Kentucky Food Safety Consultants partner with your QA, operations, and management teams to ensure procedures are effectively implemented and verified on the floor. We train recordkeepers, coach supervisors, and validate that your programs perform as intended long before your certification audit.
FoodReady’s software platform enhances this process by providing digital tools that simplify compliance management. With our system, you can capture floor checks in real time, manage daily checklists, maintain document version control, trend environmental monitoring data, and track product traceability throughout your supply chain. This combination of human expertise and automation ensures your facility always has organized, up-to-date, and defensible audit records ready for review.

Gap Assessment
We begin with a virtual or on-site review of your processes, zoning, sanitation, and documentation. Our consultants identify gaps, prioritize actions, and provide a detailed plan outlining the fastest path to certification.
Food Safety Document Development
We build or refine HACCP and FSMA Preventive Controls plans, SOPs, and PRPs to fit your operations. This includes supplier approval, allergen management, recall and traceability systems, and recordkeeping templates. Our version-controlled documentation makes maintaining compliance straightforward for your staff.
EMP & Pre-Audit Verification
For high-risk or ready-to-eat environments, we develop environmental monitoring programs with detailed zone mapping, swab schedules, and pathogen testing strategies for Listeria and Salmonella. FoodReady’s platform automates scheduling, captures data, and trends sanitation results to demonstrate verification and corrective actions.
Before the certification audit, our consultants perform an internal audit simulation to validate your readiness. We identify and correct final non-conformances, coach staff on documentation presentation, and confirm that all systems are functioning properly.
