Verify Plant Sanitation with Third Party Food Safety Audits
LEARN MOREThird-party audits are an attempt by our industry to create a mechanism for objective determination of the quality and safety of food processing operations at a particular company.
Third Party Food Safety Audits Verify your Facility's Sanitation Compliance
We all know that FDA and USDA inspections, while a critical part of our safety and sanitation infrastructure, have a number of weaknesses. Moreover, while there are legitimate motivations having to do with concern for the public health, there are serious business concerns behind the development of the third-party food safety auditing business.
There are a number of organizations who have developed certification standards, including the BRC (from the British Retail Consortium) and the SQF (from Safe Quality Food Institute), and those organizations maintain a process of approving companies qualified to perform audits.
Of course, things are often different in practice than they are in theory. While the system seems intelligent and necessary, one difficulty is that third-party food safety audits are usually paid for by the company being audited, producing a rather distinct conflict of interest.
