Common questions we can answer quickly.
HACCP Plan or FDA Food Safety Plan?
The terms are often used interchangeably, but the regulatory frameworks are not the same. Start by identifying what applies to the product and facility.

A few useful answers before you call.
Do we need a complete Food Safety & Quality Management System?
Not always. Some businesses need a complete system because they are pursuing certification or formalizing compliance. Others already have most of the pieces and need targeted work on a few weak areas. We can start by assessing what you already have.
Can you work with an existing HACCP or Food Safety Plan instead of replacing it?
Yes. Reassessment and improvement are often more efficient than starting over. The question is whether the current plan still reflects the product, process, hazards, regulatory framework, and actual operation.
Can you help us prepare for an SQF or BRCGS audit?
Yes. Support can include gap assessment, internal review, program revision, record review, corrective action, and audit-readiness work.
Can you create forms, SOPs, or training without rebuilding our whole system?
Yes. Focused projects are part of the model. Documentation should solve the specific operational or compliance problem you are trying to address.
Do you offer on-site work?
Yes, by arrangement. Remote consulting is typically easier to schedule, while on-site training, implementation, or facility work may require additional advance planning.
