Maine’s Food Safety Consultants for Fast, Audit-Ready Certification.
From Portland and Bangor to Augusta, Lewiston, and Rockland, food producers across Maine must meet increasingly strict expectations from regulators, buyers, and certifiers. Whether you operate a seafood processor along the coast, a dairy plant in central Maine, or a beverage co-packer in Portland, FoodReady’s Food Safety Consulting in Maine helps you build systems that are compliant, practical, and audit-ready.
As your Maine Food Safety Consultant, we guide you through every stage of compliance, from gap assessments and HACCP or FSMA Preventive Controls plan development to GMP and PRP implementation, documentation management, and audit preparation. Whether your target certification is HACCP, SQF, GMP, FSMA, USDA, FDA, or a GFSI-aligned scheme, we deliver done-with-you programs your team can maintain confidently every day.
Engage with an expedient process that is more than traditional consulting. Supported by a unique combination of veteran food safety experts and software intelligence, we get your Food Safety / HACCP programs ready to stay ready for any GFSI, BRC, SQF, or Retail Audit, in addition to State, USDA, or FDA inspections.
Every project is led by Dave Seddon, FoodReady’s Chief Food Safety Officer. With more than 500 completed audits and recognition as an SQF Auditor of the Year finalist, Dave brings an auditor’s insight to every engagement. He understands what certifiers and regulators look for and helps Iowa food companies align their documentation, hazard analysis, and records with those expectations. Under his direction, our Food Safety Consultants in Iowa build systems that are not only compliant but also practical for your staff to run every day.
Maine’s food industry is built around its seafood, dairy, beverage, and specialty food sectors. From lobster and shellfish processors along the Atlantic coast to craft breweries in Portland and dairy operations in Bangor, every segment requires structured, verifiable food safety programs. FoodReady’s consulting process begins with a detailed facility review to identify compliance gaps and operational challenges.
We develop or refine HACCP and FSMA Preventive Controls plans that align with your facility’s specific processes, hazards, and product categories. Our consultants integrate sanitation procedures, supplier approval, allergen management, traceability, and recall systems into a single, functional structure. This ensures your documentation, verification, and monitoring procedures all work together to support certification and regulatory compliance.
FoodReady’s Food Safety Consulting Maine services prepare companies for HACCP, SQF, GMP, and GFSI certifications including BRC and FSSC 22000. We also support FSMA Preventive Controls and FSMA 204 traceability compliance while guiding facilities through USDA and FDA documentation requirements. Every plan we deliver is cohesive and scalable, designed to help Maine producers and distributors maintain compliance without unnecessary paperwork or duplication.
FoodReady’s mission is to create food safety systems that withstand audits and work in everyday production environments. We don’t overload your team with forms, they get structured, usable systems that simplify compliance and maintain product quality. Our clients benefit from consistent audit performance, reduced findings, and faster approvals from customers and certifiers.
Every element of your program, from hazard analysis to sanitation verification, is designed to integrate smoothly into your existing workflow. We understand the seasonality, small-batch production, and export logistics that define many Maine businesses, and we tailor every system accordingly. Whether you run a seafood operation in Rockland, a maple syrup producer in Augusta, or a frozen food distributor near Portland, our Maine Food Safety Consultant team ensures your systems are reliable, defensible, and easy for your staff to maintain year-round.
FoodReady’s consulting model is hands-on. Our Maine Food Safety Consultants work directly with QA, operations, and management to ensure your programs are effectively implemented and verified before the audit. We help install daily procedures, train recordkeepers, and confirm that systems perform consistently across shifts and departments.
Our digital software platform adds another layer of efficiency by streamlining recordkeeping and verification. Facilities can capture floor checks, complete digital checklists, manage document version control, trend environmental monitoring data, and track traceability in real time. This integration ensures clean, complete audit evidence and consistent compliance visibility for management.

We create or refine HACCP and FSMA Preventive Controls plans, SOPs, and PRPs tailored to your operation. Programs include allergen control, supplier approval, recall, and traceability, with consistent templates and logs for reliable recordkeeping.
Environmental Monitoring, Pre-Audit & Coaching
For ready-to-eat or high-risk operations, we design environmental monitoring systems that include zone mapping, swab schedules, and testing strategies for pathogens such as Listeria and Salmonella. FoodReady’s platform automates data collection and trending to verify sanitation effectiveness.
Before certification, we perform a full internal review to verify documentation accuracy and staff readiness. This process corrects minor issues and ensures your audit presentation is organized, complete, and ready for inspection.
