Get GFSI certified and stay audit-ready

Customers often require GFSI certification under Safe Quality Food (SQF), BRCGS, or Food Safety System Certification (FSSC) 22000. Intertek Alchemy’s credentialed consultants and auditors take on the audit preparation, so your managers stay focused on running the plant. Every GFSI certification engagement follows four phases:

  1. Gap analysis
  2. Program development
  3. Internal audit and implementation review
  4. Audit support

What you get:

  • A system built to the GFSI-recognized standard your customers require
  • A certification path that keeps your team running the plant
  • A stronger program before every recertification audit
  • On-site or virtual SQF and BRCGS training from certified trainers

A plan only works when every shift follows it

The plan your consultant writes only matters if your crews follow it on every shift. Pair your consultant’s work with food safety training so new hires and veterans learn the same procedures, and your records show who knows what.
