Maryland’s Food Safety Consultants for Fast, Audit-Ready Certification.
From Baltimore and Frederick to Annapolis, Hagerstown, and Salisbury, food manufacturers and distributors across Maryland are expected by buyers, regulators, and certifiers to maintain documented, audit-ready systems. FoodReady’s Food Safety Consulting in Maryland helps facilities throughout the state design, implement, and sustain compliance programs that meet certification standards and fit daily operations.
As your Maryland Food Safety Consultant, we assist from start to finish: performing gap assessments, developing HACCP and FSMA Preventive Controls plans, implementing GMP and PRP systems, preparing documentation, and conducting mock audits. Whether your goal is HACCP, SQF, GMP, FSMA, USDA, FDA, or a GFSI-aligned certification, our consultants deliver done-with-you programs that your team can operate effectively 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.
Maryland’s food industry is diverse, from seafood and produce processors on the Eastern Shore to beverage manufacturers and co-packers in Baltimore and Columbia. FoodReady’s consulting approach adapts to this diversity, offering flexible and specialized support for every sector.
Our process begins with a detailed gap assessment to evaluate your existing programs and identify areas that need improvement. We then develop or refine HACCP and FSMA Preventive Controls plans that address your specific operations, hazards, and product risks. Each plan is supported by documented procedures for sanitation, allergen control, supplier approval, traceability, recall, calibration, and pest management.
We ensure these programs function as an integrated system, rather than isolated documents. This means your staff, records, and verification steps align under one structure—reducing complexity and ensuring consistency during inspections and audits.
FoodReady’s Food Safety Consulting Maryland services support HACCP, SQF, GMP, and GFSI certifications such as BRC and FSSC 22000. We also help facilities comply with FSMA Preventive Controls, FSMA 204 traceability requirements, and USDA and FDA documentation standards. Every solution is built to be durable, traceable, and simple for your team to manage throughout the year.
FoodReady’s mission is to help Maryland food businesses move beyond compliance checklists and build programs that enhance efficiency, product quality, and regulatory reliability. We design systems that pass audits because they are based on real-world implementation—easy to use, easy to verify, and effective at preventing non-conformances.
Working with our Maryland Food Safety Consultant team gives you a structured framework for preventive controls, documentation, and continuous improvement. Our clients consistently report stronger internal accountability, fewer audit findings, and quicker approvals from major buyers. We help food processors, co-packers, and distributors establish programs that keep their facilities inspection-ready and production running smoothly year-round.
FoodReady’s consulting services go far beyond delivering documents. Our Maryland Food Safety Consultants work side by side with QA, operations, and management teams to ensure your programs function properly in daily operations. We help implement procedures, train staff, and confirm system performance before your audit date.
Our digital platform complements this process by making compliance management simple and organized. Facilities can capture floor checks and observations, complete digital checklists, maintain document control, trend environmental monitoring results, and track product traceability—all in one place. This integration of hands-on consulting and software tools keeps Maryland facilities compliant, consistent, and audit-ready at all times.

Here’s how we help Maryland facilities achieve certification:
Gap Assessment
We begin with a detailed review of your facility layout, process flows, sanitation programs, and documentation. You receive a prioritized action plan identifying gaps and defining the steps required to reach certification efficiently.
Food Safety Document Development
Our consultants build or refine HACCP and FSMA Preventive Controls plans, SOPs, and PRPs. We ensure critical programs—such as allergen control, supplier approval, and recall/traceability—are documented, verified, and ready for auditor review.
Environmental Monitoring, Pre-Audit & Coaching
For high-risk and ready-to-eat operations, we design environmental monitoring systems with defined zones, swab schedules, and pathogen testing strategies for Listeria and Salmonella. FoodReady’s platform automates scheduling and data trending to verify sanitation effectiveness.
Before your audit, we perform a full internal assessment to validate readiness. We identify final adjustments, train staff on presentation and auditor expectations, and confirm documentation accuracy.
We will deliver the best job with the best team.
