We’ll help you develop HACCP and FSMA Preventive Control plans, set up your SOPs and record-keeping systems, manage allergen control, create traceability programs, conduct mock audits, and plan corrective actions. We work with all the major standards: HACCP, SQF, GMP, GFSI schemes, FSMA PC, FSMA 204, and USDA. Our integrated food safety consulting services create one cohesive, audit-ready system. You won’t end up with scattered binders or contradictory documents—everything works together seamlessly.

Here’s How the Food Safety Consulting Process Looks

Let us walk you through how we help our Philadelphia clients pass their certification audits:

Gap Assessment

We’ll start by taking a look at your facility—either in person or virtually, whatever works best for you. During this walk-through, we’ll examine your workflows, check out your zoning setup, review your controls, and review your documentation. Once we’re done, you’ll get a prioritized action plan that clearly shows you what needs attention first.

Food Safety Document Development

This is where we build the foundation of your compliance system. We’ll create your HACCP/FSMA Preventive Control plans, along with all the SOPs and prerequisite programs you need. Our team develops control programs for allergen management, supplier approval, and recall/traceability procedures, as well as practical tools like records, logs, forms, and a system to keep track of document versions.

Environmental Monitoring
Program

We’ll set up your zone mapping for RTE and high-risk operations, create swab schedules, and develop pathogen control strategies. Our FoodReady AI platform makes tracking testing frequency, monitoring results, and spotting trends easy, so you’re always prepared when auditors arrive.
