Fresno Food Safety Consultant

Helping Fresno Food Businesses Meet Federal & State Compliance Standards

Fresno is at the heart of California’s Central Valley, a region that supplies the nation with produce, dairy, meat, and specialty foods. Facilities regulated by the FDA and USDA face unique requirements that demand clear documentation, reliable systems, and proof of compliance.

FoodReady’s Fresno food safety consultants guide processors, co-packers, and distributors through building programs that satisfy both FDA and USDA expectations while keeping your daily operations efficient.

Practical Consulting for Food Businesses & Facilities

We understand that food safety is not just paperwork. With a combination of experienced consultants and FoodReady’s software, we design systems that keep your HACCP and food safety programs ready for USDA inspectors, FDA audits, and third-party certifications such as SQF, BRC, and other GFSI schemes. Our focus is always on creating systems your team can follow consistently, not binders that sit on a shelf.

Hear It From Real People

FoodReady has supported hundreds of food businesses across the country, from small bakeries to international distributors. In Fresno, 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.”
