Grow Your Food Business with
Customized Food Safety Consulting

Our Food Safety Indianapolis team partners with you from the moment you start preparing for an audit until the certification is complete. We evaluate your current documentation, perform a detailed gap assessment, and build or refine HACCP plans, SOPs, and tailored checklists that fit the unique needs of your operation.

We also align prerequisite programs—covering allergen management, sanitation and SSOPs, supplier approval, traceability and recall procedures, calibration, and pest control—with the specific certification you’re pursuing. Whether you’re a co-packer serving regional brands, a bakery producing for retail chains, or a distributor managing complex supply networks, we design right-sized food safety programs that your staff can confidently maintain throughout the year.

Optimize Your FSP With Food Safety Experts

Our approach combines hands-on consulting with smart software to give you both expertise and tools. Instead of leaving you with binders and checklists no one wants to use, we install practical programs that fit your operation.

That’s why Indianapolis companies trust FoodReady when preparing for:

GFSI audits (SQF, BRC, FSSC 22000)
HACCP certification
GMP implementation
FSMA Preventive Controls and FSMA 204 Traceability Rule
USDA and FDA inspections
Recall preparedness and environmental monitoring

What Sets Us Apart?

We know every facility is different. A dairy processor in Greenwood doesn’t face the same challenges as a co-packer in Plainfield or a bakery downtown. Our consultants don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. We listen, assess, and design programs your staff can actually manage—backed by software that makes audits smoother and recordkeeping less painful.
