The Certification Process in West Virginia

The steps we take to help our West Virginia clients achieve certification:

Gap Assessment

We begin with an on-site or virtual review of your facility. Our consultants assess product and personnel flows, zoning, sanitation, controls, and documentation. You receive a prioritized action plan highlighting critical steps needed for audit readiness.

Food Safety Document Development

We build or refine HACCP and FSMA Preventive Controls plans, SOPs, and PRPs. These include allergen management, supplier approval, and recall and traceability systems. We also provide structured forms, logs, and version-controlled records to ensure consistent compliance.

Environmental Monitoring
Program

For ready-to-eat and high-risk facilities, we design environmental monitoring programs with zone mapping, swab schedules, and pathogen strategies for Listeria and Salmonella. FoodReady’s platform automates scheduling, captures results, and trends data so sanitation effectiveness and corrective actions are well documented.
