The steps we take to help our California clients pass a certification audit:
Gap Assessment
We request and review your existing documentation and tour the facility to map product and personnel flows, zoning, and controls. We identify exactly where gaps exist against your target standard (HACCP, SQF, GMP, etc.) and produce a prioritized action plan with critical‑path items to hit your audit date.
We develop or refresh the documentation you need to pass: HACCP plans (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) or Preventive Controls, SOPs, PRPs, Allergen Control, Supplier Approval, Recall/Traceability, and Custom Checklists. We also set up practical forms and logs, version control, and rec
Environmental Monitoring
Program
We build an environmental monitoring program for applicable products and areas that makes sense for your risk profile— with zone mapping, swab scheduling, Listeria and Salmonella strategies, trending, and corrective actions. FoodReady’s mobile app simplifies task scheduling, document capture, and trending, so you can demonstrate audit readiness without scrambling.
We will deliver the best job with the best team.

Yes. We work on‑site across the state (including Los Angeles, Orange County, Inland Empire, Bay Area, Central Valley, and San Diego) and can combine on‑site with remote sessions to keep momentum while minimizing disruption.
It depends on your starting point and target standard. After the gap assessment, we’ll give you a realistic timeline and sprint plan. We focus first on high‑risk, high‑impact items so you can reach certification quickly—without overwhelming production.
Absolutely. We review nonconformances, address root causes, rebuild weak sections of your program, and run a targeted mock audit to ensure the issues won’t resurface. We also help craft effective CAPAs and gather evidence to close findings.
