Financial concerns over regulatory violations
Food Manufacturers and Importers
Neenah, Wisconsin — (July 11, 2024) — Food manufacturing facilities and food importers can benefit from three new services introduced by JJ Keller & Associates, Inc. to ensure compliance with the industry’s complex regulations and standards.
These requirements include those set by organizations such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), as well as state and local agencies.
“Because food safety measures are so important to the public, food manufacturers and importers face especially stringent requirements to stay in business,” said food safety consultant JJ Keller. Francesca Vescehas worked in compliance and quality assurance roles for food manufacturing facilities for 30 years. “To help these companies get and keep their operations compliant, we have developed a suite of consulting services that allow us to assess a company’s current level of compliance and provide clear recommendations to address issues before an audit or incident occurs.”
JJ Keller’s three new on-site food safety consulting services are:
- Third Party Food Safety Audit Gap Assessment Prepare your facility to pass a GFSI, GDP (Good Distribution Practices), or HACCP/GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) audit. Focus on the same criteria that will be used in the actual audit and provide a report of recommendations for improvement.
- Developing or reviewing a food safety plan This ensures a company’s plan will pass regulatory inspections and safety audits, and if a plan doesn’t exist, JJ Keller will develop a facility-specific plan on a company’s behalf.
- Development or review of an FSVP plan; It helps companies that import FDA-regulated products into the United States comply with Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) plan requirements, including reviewing existing plans for compliance or creating a custom plan.
These new services join a comprehensive suite of consulting services offered by JJ Keller, a leader in safety and regulatory compliance for 70 years. The firm’s expertise ranges from food safety to transportation, workplace safety, environmental compliance, hazardous materials, human resources, healthcare and more.
