From Hazard Analysis to Audit Day —
We Get You Certified.
Crisis-proven food safety consultants embedded in your facility. HACCP plans built. SQF audits passed. FSMA compliance documented. Every corrective action closed before the auditor walks in.
A 280-employee poultry plant receives a critical nonconformance at 4:47 PM on a Thursday. SQF recertification audit: Monday morning.
The finding: cook-step CCP monitoring logs show three missing temperature entries across two shifts. The HACCP plan doesn't specify what happens when a monitor fails to record. No CAPA procedure exists. The auditor has flagged it as a potential Major.
HACCP Plans That Hold Up
Under the Hardest Scrutiny.
Most HACCP plans fail audits not because they're wrong — but because they're incomplete. Missing corrective actions, undefined responsibilities, monitoring frequencies that don't match production reality. We fix that before the auditor finds it.
Our 7-Day HACCP Build Process
Biological, chemical, and physical hazards identified at every process step using CODEX decision tree logic.
Critical control points confirmed with documented scientific rationale. No gray areas, no guesswork.
Regulatory limits cross-referenced against your equipment specifications. Limits are defensible.
Monitoring frequency, responsibility, and log sheets built to your shift structure.
Pre-written CAPA procedures for every deviation. Your team knows exactly what to do before anything goes wrong.
Scientific validation studies scoped. Third-party lab relationships established. Records audit-ready.
A juice startup lands their first Whole Foods regional buyer. The buyer requires SQF Level 2 certification within 90 days. The founders have never written a HACCP plan.
Their co-packer runs a certified facility, but the brand entity itself must hold the certification. They have a product, a label, and a purchase order — but zero documentation, no prerequisite programs, and no food safety team.
SQF Certification from Zero
to Retail-Ready in 90 Days.
We've built SQF systems for brands that had nothing but a great product and a deadline. The certification is yours — not your co-packer's. That means the documentation, the training records, the supplier approvals, and the audit prep are all in your hands. We build it with you.
Certify Average Client Audit Scores by SQF Level
GMP compliance, basic food safety controls, prerequisite programs established.
Full HACCP plan, CCP monitoring, corrective actions, verification procedures.
Level 2 plus quality management system, customer complaint procedures, product quality specs.
Every Certify engagement is led by a licensed SQF Practitioner. We don't hand you a template — we sit in your facility, review your processes, and build a system that passes because it reflects how you actually operate.
An FDA investigator arrives unannounced at a frozen entrée co-manufacturer. The brand's food safety plan names a PCQI — but that person left the company four months ago.
Under FSMA's Preventive Controls rule, every covered facility must have a PCQI who oversees the food safety plan. The plan exists. The records exist. But the qualified individual doesn't. The investigator issues a Form 483 observation. The co-packer threatens to drop the brand.
PCQI Coverage That Doesn't
Walk Out the Door.
We serve as your outsourced PCQI — attending FDA inspections, maintaining your food safety plan, and signing off on annual reanalyses. When your internal PCQI resigns, you don't lose your compliance standing.
Certify consultant serves as your named PCQI. Available for FDA inspections, plan reviews, and 21 CFR 117 compliance questions.
FSMA requires food safety plans be reanalyzed every 3 years or after significant changes. We schedule it, document it, and sign off.
FSPCA-aligned training for your internal team. We build your bench so you're never one resignation away from a compliance gap.
A 180-employee beef jerky plant receives an FDA 483 with two observations: no written supply chain program for their spice supplier, and environmental monitoring data not integrated into their food safety plan reanalysis.
The plant has a food safety plan. They have monitoring logs. But FSMA's Preventive Controls rule requires specific documentation connecting supplier verification to hazard analysis. The gap is procedural, not operational — but the investigator doesn't know the difference between the two.
FSMA Compliance Isn't One Rule.
It's Seven. We Know All of Them.
Most food companies are covered by multiple FSMA rules simultaneously and don't know it. We map your operations against every applicable rule, identify the gaps, and build the documentation that makes your 483 response bulletproof.
An FDA investigator arrives at a 90-employee string cheese plant for a routine surveillance inspection. The plant's food safety manager is on vacation. The backup doesn't know where the HACCP records are stored.
The investigator issues five 483 observations in four hours. Two are Major. One is Critical — an allergen statement discrepancy between the formula and the label that triggers a voluntary recall conversation. Total cost of the unpreparedness: $340,000 in recalled product, $80,000 in legal fees, and a follow-up inspection six months later.
The Inspection You Practice
Is the One You Pass.
Our mock FDA inspection follows the same protocol a real investigator uses — document review, facility walkthrough, employee interviews, records requests. You see exactly what they'll see, before they see it. Every finding gets a corrective action. Every corrective action gets closed.
HACCP plan reanalysis overdue (last completed 4.2 years ago)
No records of allergen training for 3 of 12 line workers hired in Q3
Environmental monitoring zones not updated after equipment move in July
COAs not on file for 2 incoming ingredient lots from approved supplier
Allergen statement on SKU-0047 does not reflect current formula
Evidence Accumulates.
Every Corrective Action Closed.
Across 12 facility types, 7 certification standards, and 340+ engagements — the numbers tell the story your CAPA log can't.
Facilities We've Certified
"Certify walked into our facility on a Tuesday with a nonconformance that would have killed our SQF recertification. By Friday, every corrective action was closed and documented. I've never seen anything like it."
"We had a blank template, a co-packer, and a Whole Foods PO. Certify built our entire FSMA food safety plan from scratch in 11 days. We passed SQF Level 2 on the first attempt. That PO turned into a national rollout."
