Minnesota’s Food Safety Consultants for Fast, Audit-Ready Certification.
From Minneapolis and St. Paul to Rochester, Duluth, and St. Cloud, food producers and distributors across Minnesota face increasing pressure from retailers, regulators, and certifiers to maintain reliable, documented compliance programs. FoodReady’s Food Safety Consulting in Minnesota helps facilities of all types—from processors and co-packers to warehouses and distributors—design and sustain audit-ready systems that work in practice.
Food Safety Consultant, we provide gap assessments, HACCP and FSMA Preventive Controls plans, GMP and PRP implementation, documentation support, and pre-audit readiness training. Whether your company is targeting HACCP, SQF, GMP, FSMA, USDA, FDA, or GFSI-aligned certification, our consultants deliver done-with-you solutions your team can operate every day with confidence.
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.
Minnesota’s food industry is diverse and highly regulated, encompassing meat and poultry facilities in Austin and Worthington, dairy processors in Rochester, breweries in the Twin Cities, frozen and refrigerated distributors along I-94, and large-scale bakeries and snack producers across the state. FoodReady’s consulting services are tailored to this variety, ensuring that each facility receives the right combination of regulatory and operational support.
Our consulting process begins with a full evaluation of your current programs. We review documentation, facility layouts, process flows, and existing procedures to identify compliance gaps and improvement areas. From there, we build or refine HACCP and FSMA Preventive Controls plans, ensuring that critical control points, monitoring procedures, and corrective actions are accurate, verifiable, and easy for your staff to maintain.
We also strengthen supporting programs such as sanitation, supplier approval, traceability, allergen control, and equipment maintenance. FoodReady’s consultants make sure every element of your program—documentation, training, and recordkeeping—functions as part of an integrated system. The result is a food safety framework that reflects Minnesota’s operational realities: seasonal production schedules, diverse supply chains, and the need for traceable, defensible documentation that satisfies both local inspectors and global buyers.
FoodReady’s Food Safety Consulting Minnesota services prepare companies for HACCP, SQF, GMP, and GFSI certifications such as BRC and FSSC 22000. We also provide FSMA Preventive Controls and FSMA 204 traceability compliance guidance while helping USDA and FDA facilities organize and validate required documentation. Every system we deliver is cohesive, data-driven, and easy to sustain, designed to keep you compliant without adding unnecessary complexity.
FoodReady’s mission is straightforward: to help Minnesota food businesses achieve and maintain certification with programs that make sense in day-to-day production. Our consultants eliminate unnecessary paperwork and create structured, practical systems that strengthen preventive controls, support consistent product quality, and make audit preparation predictable.
Clients who work with our Minnesota Food Safety Consultant team experience measurable results: improved audit scores, fewer non-conformances, faster customer approvals, and stronger internal accountability. Each program we build is customized around your facility’s scale, workforce, and production flow. Whether you’re a small co-packer or a large USDA-inspected plant, we provide the right balance of documentation, digital management, and on-site verification to keep you audit-ready year-round.
Our consultants take a collaborative approach—working alongside QA, operations, and management teams to ensure your programs are not just compliant on paper but effective in practice. We help install procedures, train employees, and verify that systems are functioning properly long before your audit date.
To maintain consistency and visibility, FoodReady’s digital software platform provides modern tools that make compliance management simple. Facilities can capture floor checks digitally, run assigned checklists, maintain document version control, trend environmental monitoring results, and manage traceability across suppliers and lots. This integration of human expertise and automation allows Minnesota facilities to stay inspection-ready with up-to-date data and clean, complete audit evidence.

Here’s how we guide Minnesota businesses from initial assessment to certification success:
Gap Assessment
We start with an on-site or virtual review of your operations, examining documentation, zoning, sanitation controls, and verification records. You receive a prioritized action plan detailing the exact steps required to meet your certification timeline
Food Safety Document Development
Next, we build or refine HACCP and FSMA Preventive Controls plans, SOPs, and PRPs. Programs such as allergen control, supplier approval, recall, and traceability are created or updated. We also implement forms and recordkeeping systems that ensure version control and traceability across your facility.
Environmental Monitoring, Pre-Audit & Coaching
For ready-to-eat or high-risk environments, we establish environmental monitoring programs that define sampling zones, frequencies, and test methods for pathogens such as Listeria and Salmonella. FoodReady’s platform automates scheduling, stores results, and trends corrective actions to demonstrate sanitation effectiveness.
Before certification, our consultants perform a complete mock audit to validate documentation accuracy, employee readiness, and operational performance. We address any remaining issues so you enter your certification audit with confidence.
We will deliver the best job with the best team.
