Tailored Food Safety Programs for Alaska’s Unique Industries

Alaska’s food economy revolves around seafood harvesting, fish processing, meat packing, dairy operations, breweries, and large cold storage facilities. Each of these sectors faces specific regulatory challenges, from FDA seafood HACCP compliance to USDA inspection programs. FoodReady designs and implements food safety systems customized to those needs.

Our consultants build HACCP and FSMA Preventive Controls plans, SOPs, and process checklists that reflect your product flow and certification goals. We also develop prerequisite programs, including Allergen control and management, Sanitation and SSOP documentation, Supplier approval and verification, Traceability and recall planning, Equipment calibration and maintenance, Pest management and facility hygiene, and Foreign material and glass control procedures.

Our Food Safety Consulting Alaska services help companies meet HACCP, SQF, GMP, and GFSI certification requirements (including BRC and FSSC 22000). We also provide support for FSMA Preventive Controls, FSMA 204 traceability readiness, and both USDA and FDA documentation systems. Each program is delivered as an integrated compliance framework, ensuring your entire operation works together under one consistent, audit-ready system.

A Proven Process to Certification in Alaska

FoodReady follows a structured, efficient process to guide your facility from initial review to certification.

Gap Assessment and System Review

We start with an on-site or virtual review of your facility’s food safety systems. Our consultants analyze process flows, sanitation controls, and existing documentation. You receive a prioritized action plan with detailed steps to reach audit readiness.

HACCP and Document Development

We create or update HACCP and FSMA Preventive Controls plans, SOPs, and prerequisite programs tailored to your operation. This includes allergen management, supplier approval, and traceability programs. Our team provides clear, usable forms and logs that fit seamlessly into your production routine.

Verification, Pre-Audit & Training

For ready-to-eat or high-risk operations, we design environmental monitoring programs with zone mapping, sampling schedules, and testing strategies for pathogens such as Listeria and Salmonella. FoodReady’s platform automates scheduling, captures results, and trends corrective actions to maintain consistent verification.

Before the audit, we run a complete internal review of your system. We identify minor gaps, provide corrective recommendations, and train your staff to ensure full readiness for certification day.

Once your documentation and records are in place, we conduct a full mock audit that mirrors your target certification. We identify gaps, train your staff, and ensure every requirement is met before the auditor arrives — reducing risk and increasing your certification confidence.
