From downtown Ferndale and Pleasant Ridge to Royal Oak and Hazel Park, local food producers face strict safety expectations from buyers and regulators. As your Ferndale Food Safety Consultant, FoodReady helps you achieve compliance and certification through practical, hands-on programs that actually work on your production floor. Our team builds HACCP and Preventive Controls plans, strengthens GMPs and prerequisite programs, develops audit-ready documentation, and conducts mock audits to prepare you for certification. Whether you’re pursuing SQF, GMP, FSMA, USDA, or GFSI-aligned certification, our Food Safety Consulting in Ferndale makes compliance efficient, organized, and easy to maintain.
We provide integrated Food Safety Consulting Ferndale services aligned with the highest standards: HACCP, SQF, GMP, FSMA Preventive Controls, FSMA 204, USDA, and GFSI-aligned schemes like BRCGS and FSSC 22000. Each program is built as a cohesive compliance system, so your documentation, verification, and training all work together toward certification.
Your Ferndale engagement is led by Dave Seddon, FoodReady’s Chief Food Safety Officer and a finalist for SQF Auditor of the Year. With more than 500 manufacturer audits under his belt, Dave brings an auditor’s eye for detail to every project, ensuring your documentation, hazard analysis, and corrective actions meet certification expectations. Under his guidance, our Food Safety Consultants in Ferndale focus on building reliable systems your operators can run daily, keeping compliance alive in real-world production environments.
Our consulting services cover every stage, from your first gap assessment to final audit preparation. We work with beverage co-packers, bakeries, RTE producers, and food manufacturers throughout Oakland County to ensure compliance and operational efficiency. Programs include HACCP/FSMA PC plans, SOPs/PRPs, allergen control, sanitation and SSOPs, supplier approval, pest management, and traceability and recall systems.

The steps we take to help Ferndale facilities achieve and maintain certification readiness:
Gap Assessment
We start with an in-depth walk-through, onsite or virtual, to evaluate facility layout, process flows, controls, and documentation. You’ll receive a custom action plan highlighting critical areas for improvement and a clear path to audit readiness.
We develop or enhance your core programs: HACCP and FSMA Preventive Controls plans, SOPs/PRPs, and specialized systems for Allergen Control, Supplier Approval, Recall/Traceability, and Sanitation. Each is supported by structured logs, forms, and controlled documents to ensure consistency and accuracy.
Environmental Monitoring Program
For RTE and high-risk environments, we design data-driven environmental monitoring programs with zone mapping, pathogen control, and swabbing schedules. FoodReady’s digital tools simplify scheduling, tracking, and trending so you can act on results quickly and confidently.
We will deliver the best job with the best team.
