"The auditor was engaging and energetic and my teams got huge value from her audits, well beyond just checking off the audit criteria.

They have been left more aware of best practice for their locations and are now energised about raising their safety standards even further!"

When to use it

Routine checks or incident support

Use routine sampling to verify HACCP and cleaning standards. Use reactive sampling to understand a complaint, a suspected contamination or an equipment failure. Output is simple, we provide a clear report that gives reassurance that everything is good or where it isn't with actions to improve with recommendations.
What we cover

Food and environment

We help you choose representative sites and products, advise on safe collection and packaging and liaise with accredited laboratories. Results are compared to recognised criteria so decisions are based on facts not guesswork.
