Our Process

Intake Process

  • MyForest Foods first engaged Kellerman Consulting to complete a thorough on-site gap assessment of their existing programs and their facility. A Kellerman Consulting team member completed gap assessments of the MyForest Foods facility against all NYC 20C requirements, FDA requirements, and Mérieux NutriSciences Food Safety Systems and GMP Audit requirements.

GMP Program Development

  • The Kellerman Consulting Food Safety & Quality Consultant created an FDA compliant food safety program, and a GMP certification program tailored to fit with MyForest Foods’ processes and procedures.

GMP Program Implementation

  • The Kellerman Consulting GMP consultant structured implementation to help MyForest Foods meet their audit timeline goal.
  • The Kellerman Consulting  GMP consultant revised MyForest Foods’ GMP program during the process of implementation and customized the program to their specific processes and procedures.

GMP Certification Audit Preparation and Support

  • A second full-day site visit was conducted to complete a full in-person internal audit of the GMP program and to check again for any facility concerns or recommendations. 
  • Findings from the Internal Audit helped guide final efforts to prepare for the GMP audit and close all identified gaps in the program. 
  • During the audit, our GMP consultant was available to offer support and then he helped close out the corrective actions and a GMP certificate was issued by the certifying body.
