Food Safety & HACCP Standards
We can also provide solutions and bespoke standards, were required, to the ongoing demands of internal, supplier management and auditing programmes, relieving the burden of our partners going through the expense of training new auditors
We can provide the support with implementing Quality Systems to meet protocols such as BRC Global Standard, IS0 9000, 14011, 22000, IFS as well as assistance with pre audit preparation. We can put you in touch with Certification Bodies to assist you with the final certification but as we will not perform the accreditation audits for our partner specifically, we can offer hands on advice from a practical, understanding perspective and support without a conflict of interest .
In the world of food manufacture the associated legislation, Food Safety, HACCP, good hygiene and manufacturing practices are covered in a multitude of ways including ISO, BRC, IFS, Salsa, Safer Food Better Business, second party audits etc.. We believe audits can be and are powerful management tools which if used appropriately can effectively challenge standards both internally and externally, verifying if a subject which is believed to be under control is actually controlled or whether there is still room for improved. Audits may be used to establish conformance, challenge peoples attitudes, challenge the status quo to support improvement programmes, lead to positive and sustainable change in business performance.
Auditors with the right combination of skills are the only way to establish an in depth understanding of the root causes of to prioritise and recommend effective solutions. Skills like experience, technical knowledge, auditing skills and a practical understanding of the food manufacturing process
We are able to offer a range of certificated auditors, auditing against a wide range of recognised protocols relating to Food Safety and HACCP, such as the BRC Global Standard Food Version 6 and Storage & Distribution*, IFS Version 5, ISO 9000, 14001, & 22000 and retailer specific requirements both in the UK and in continental Europe.
Often our partners require bespoke, targeted or ‘deep dive’ audits conducting where they are experiencing specific issues either internally and externally. This to, we can support providing an independent ‘fresh eyes’ approach to gain an insight into detailed areas.
