Safe food audits

Safe food audits play a critical role in ensuring food safety and consumer confidence in food products. By identifying potential risks and deviations, safe food audits help to prevent foodborne diseases and ensure that the food that reaches the market meets high standards of quality and safety.

Our approach to safe food audits can be described as follows:

1. Planning and preparation: Before an audit starts, it must be carefully planned. This includes identifying audit areas, developing an audit plan, selecting audit methods and resources, as well as coordinating timing and logistics with the business to be audited.
2. Review of process and practice: During the audit, the auditor conducts a thorough review of the client's processes and practice. This may include inspection of production facilities, storage areas, means of transport, hygiene procedures, control of raw materials and finished products, as well as documentation of processes and guidelines.
3. Assessment of food safety standards: The audit examines the extent to which the business complies with requirements for relevant food safety standards, laws and regulations. This includes requirements for hygiene, handling of allergens, traceability, labelling, packaging, and other factors that can affect food safety.
4. Identification of deviations and risks: During the audit, the auditor identifies any deviations from standards or best practice, as well as potential risks to food safety. This could be a lack of cleaning, improper storage of food, insufficient labelling, or other conditions that could pose a risk to consumers' health.
5. Reporting and follow-up: After the audit, a report summarizing the findings is prepared. The report includes identified deviations, recommended measures for improvement and any requirements for corrective measures. The audit is usually followed up with a visit to verify that the measures have been implemented and that the deviations have been rectified.
