HACCP Food Safety

HACCP, for food manufacturers, processors, and supply chain operators in regulated markets.

Overview

HACCP Food Safety Audits

Food safety is not a compliance exercise, it is a foundation of consumer trust, business continuity, and public health. Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is the internationally recognised framework for identifying, evaluating, and controlling food safety hazards before they reach the consumer. For food businesses operating at any scale, a well-implemented HACCP system is the difference between proactive risk management and reactive crisis response.

AuditCo provides independent HACCP audits and food safety compliance services to food manufacturers, processors, distributors, hospitality operators, and any organisation that handles food as part of its operations. Our auditors understand what a functioning HACCP system looks like in practice, not just on paper.

Our HACCP audits assess the full scope of your food safety management system: hazard identification, critical control point determination, monitoring procedures, corrective actions, verification activities, and documentation integrity. We deliver clear, prioritised findings that give your team a practical roadmap for improvement, whether you are building a HACCP system from the ground up, preparing for third-party certification, or seeking assurance that existing controls remain effective.

What our HACCP audit covers

Prerequisite Programme (PRP) Review

Assessment of your foundational food safety controls, cleaning and sanitation, pest control, allergen management, supplier verification, and staff hygiene, that support the HACCP system.

Hazard Analysis

Independent review of your biological, chemical, and physical hazard identification process, including hazard severity and likelihood assessment.

CCP Identification and Validation

Evaluation of your Critical Control Points, critical limits, and the science or evidence base that supports them.

Monitoring and Corrective Action Systems

Assessment of how CCPs are monitored in practice, how deviations are identified, and how corrective actions are documented and resolved.

Verification and Validation Activities

Review of your internal verification schedule, calibration records, microbiological testing programs, and audit trails.

Documentation and Record Integrity

Audit of HACCP plan documentation, supporting records, and version control to ensure your system is current and defensible.

Gap Analysis and Improvement Planning

For organisations building or upgrading their HACCP system, we provide a structured gap analysis with actionable recommendations prioritised by risk.

Food safety compliance, examined thoroughly.

A HACCP audit from AuditCo goes beyond box-ticking. We examine how your food safety system operates in the real conditions of your facility, from raw material intake and storage through processing, packaging, and distribution. Our auditors engage with your team, review your documentation, observe your processes, and test your understanding of the critical controls you rely on every day.

AuditCo also supports organisations preparing for HACCP certification audits conducted by accredited certification bodies, as well as businesses seeking to align their food safety programs with international standards. Whether you are responding to a retailer requirement, entering a new market, or strengthening internal governance, our team provides the independent assessment and practical guidance to get you there.

Let AuditCo conduct an independent HACCP audit that gives your team clarity, confidence, and a clear path forward.
