Tennessee’s Food Safety Consultants for Reliable, Audit-Ready Certification.
From Nashville and Memphis to Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Clarksville, buyers and regulators in Tennessee expect food manufacturers and distributors to maintain well-documented, inspection-ready programs. FoodReady’s Food Safety Consulting in Tennessee helps businesses across the state design, implement, and sustain systems that meet certification and regulatory requirements.
As your Tennessee Food Safety Consultant, we conduct gap assessments, develop HACCP and FSMA Preventive Controls plans, build GMP and PRP programs, strengthen documentation, and guide your team through 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.
FoodReady supports every step of the compliance process, from initial evaluation through certification. Tennessee’s food sector is diverse: poultry plants in Shelby County, bakeries and snack manufacturers in Nashville, beverage co-packers around Chattanooga, dairy facilities near Knoxville, and large distributors serving the Mid-South.
Our consultants tailor services for each operation’s size, products, and certification needs. We develop or update HACCP and FSMA Preventive Controls plans, SOPs, and facility-specific checklists that align with your workflow.
We also build comprehensive prerequisite programs covering Allergen management and labeling, Sanitation and SSOP systems, Supplier approval and monitoring, Traceability and recall processes, Equipment calibration and maintenance control, Pest prevention and facility hygiene, Glass, brittle plastic, and foreign-material control.

We also support FSMA Preventive Controls, FSMA 204 traceability, USDA and FDA documentation, and third-party audit readiness.

The following steps outline how we help Tennessee clients achieve audit success:
Gap Assessment
We start with a detailed on-site or virtual review of your existing programs. Our consultants examine personnel and product flow, sanitation controls, documentation, and current records. The result is a prioritized action plan that defines the path to full certification readiness.
Food Safety Document Development
Next, we create or refine HACCP and FSMA Preventive Controls plans, SOPs, and PRPs. These include allergen control, supplier approval, recall, and traceability programs. We also provide user-friendly logs, forms, and version-controlled templates so your team can easily maintain compliance.
Environmental Monitoring, Pre-Audit & Training
For ready-to-eat or high-risk environments, we design environmental monitoring systems with zone mapping, swab schedules, and testing strategies for pathogens such as Listeria and Salmonella. FoodReady’s software automates scheduling, captures results, and trends corrective actions to demonstrate effective sanitation during audits.
Finally, we conduct a full internal review that mirrors your certification audit. Our consultants identify remaining gaps, guide corrective actions, and train staff on documentation control and auditor interactions so you’re fully prepared for certification day.
