Del Rio Food Safety Consultant

Helping Del Rio Food Businesses Stay FDA/USDA Compliant and Audit Ready

In a border city like Del Rio, where food moves from processors and packers to distributors and across international supply chains, compliance with food safety standards is critical.

FoodReady’s Del Rio food safety consultants provide hands-on guidance to ensure your programs meet certification requirements, pass audits, and keep your operations efficient and secure.

Consulting That Works in the Real World

We do more than supply templates. We design systems your staff can run every day. By combining the expertise of seasoned consultants with FoodReady’s intelligent software, we help Del Rio companies maintain audit ready HACCP and food safety programs for SQF, BRC, and other GFSI certifications. Our team also prepares you for USDA, FDA, and Texas Department of State Health Services inspections.

Hear It From Real People

FoodReady has supported hundreds of food businesses across the country, from small bakeries to international distributors. In Del Rio, we bring that same experience to meat processors, cross border distributors, and family owned operations. Our goal is to strengthen compliance, help you pass audits, and give you the confidence to expand.

“The people at FoodReady are excellent to work with and care to get involved with your company and make it as best as it can be. FoodReady staff also helped provide training to our QA team.”

“We like the customizable options and ease of use. The support that comes with it. We would not have been able to pass our audit without the support staff of FoodReady.”

“Peace of mind, safety, and accountability. With all of these things and the FoodReady team (especially Dustin!), we felt confident and ready for the USDA and about our product safety.”

Meet Our Consulting Leadership

Our program is led by Dave Seddon, Chief Food Safety Officer and former SQF Auditor of the Year finalist. Having audited more than 500 facilities, Dave brings an auditor’s eye to documentation, hazard analysis, and recordkeeping. His leadership ensures Del Rio businesses implement programs that meet the expectations of certifiers, regulators, and buyers.

Tailored Food Safety Programs for Del Rio

Our Del Rio Food Safety Consultant team works with you from the first planning steps until audit day. We conduct gap assessments, review existing documentation, and create or update HACCP and FSMA Preventive Controls plans, SOPs, and checklists designed for your operations.

We also establish prerequisite programs such as allergen management, sanitation and SSOPs, supplier approval, traceability and recall systems, calibration, and pest control. Whether you are a meat processor near the border, a produce distributor supplying Texas and Mexico, or a bakery serving Val Verde County, we deliver practical and right sized programs your staff can maintain throughout the year.

FoodReady provides integrated food safety consulting across all major certifications and regulations. Our services include HACCP, SQF, GMP, and GFSI aligned schemes such as BRC and FSSC 22000. We also support FSMA Preventive Controls, FSMA 204 Traceability readiness, USDA and FDA documentation, recall exercises, and environmental monitoring.
