Common Food Safety Regulatory Compliance Questions

What is the Difference Between Food Safety Compliance vs. Food Safety Certification?

Food safety law is designed to protect the safety of consumers. Food businesses must do their part by following food law in order to meet food safety compliance standards and ensure the safety of their products . Food safety compliance is mandatory, whereas, food safety certification is a voluntary process that many food industry businesses choose to pursue to improve the performance of their company, to stay competitive, to sell to larger customers and to uphold high safety and quality standards of their products.

What are Key Elements of Food Safety Compliance?

Key elements of food safety compliance include: Hazard Analysis, Risk Assessments, Preventive Controls, Critical Control Points (CCPs), Defined critical limits, Monitoring procedures, Corrective Actions, Identified Verification Procedures, setting up documentation and record-keeping processes. Kellerman Consulting will write your food safety compliance programs and we will train you to implement it to pass your next inspection.

What is FDA Food Safety Compliance?

In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates: “human drugs and biological products, animal drugs, medical devices, tobacco products, food (including animal food), cosmetics, and electronic products that emit radiation”. The FDA regulates food items in the U.S., except for meat and poultry products, which are regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The FDA conducts periodic inspections and food facilities should be prepared for an inspection at any time. There are also compliance regulations related to importing food products into the U.S. called the Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP). Kellerman Consulting has written over 650+ FDA / USDA food safety programs that comply with government standards and we stay with our clients until you pass. No matter what.

What is USDA Compliance?

USDA compliance is enforced by the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). FSIS is an agency of the USDA and it is responsible for ensuring the safety of the United States supply of meat and poultry products. FSIS conducts continuous inspections of meat and poultry processing.

FSQA Manager is Trained in Four Months to Pass Their First BRCGS Audit

Kellerman Consulting does an amazing job of consistently meeting customers’ expectations and taking time to understand the needs of their unique customer. Their service goes above and beyond expectations. I had come to Shelby Foods just 4 months before the initial BRCGS audit and had very little idea what was required for BRCGS. Brian worked with me and patiently answered all my questions until I understood everything.

We have an A rating with BRCGS and I attribute that to Brian Kellerman and Kellerman Consulting for everything they have done to help our business to get the certification. Their initial assessment of our company, the documents, and information provided to make our
plan were great. During the audit it gave me confidence knowing we had everything in line with BRCGS requirements.

Clarendon Flavors’ New SQF Practitioner is Trained in Three Months for SQF Success

“Kellerman Consulting made a world of difference in both the time and quality of implementation of our SQF program at Clarendon Flavors. Honestly, we would have had a very tough time doing it without their expertise. When I took over the position of SQF Practitioner at our company with no prior experience, I had only 3 months to prepare for our first SQF Audit. Tim and Brian rallied around me and made sure I was ready to meet the challenge head on. From writing and reviewing documents, to educating a complete novice, to performing a mock audit in advance, the Kellerman team made sure we were ready not only to pass, but to score a 91 on our first audit. I could not recommend them more highly”!
