Food manufacturers and importers can now benefit from three new services designed by J. J. Keller and Associates Inc. to help ensure compliance with industry regulations and standards, such as those set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), and state and local agencies.

J. J. Keller’s three new onsite food safety consulting services include:

  • Third-Party Food Safety Audit Gap Assessment: Prepares a facility for a successful GFSI, GDP (Good Distribution Practice), or Hazards Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP)/GMPs (Good Manufacturing Practices) audit. It focuses on the same standards used during an actual audit and provides a report of recommendations for improvements.
  • Food Safety Plan Development or Review: Ensures a company’s plan would pass a regulatory inspection or safety audit. If no plan exists, J. J. Keller will develop a facility-specific plan on the company’s behalf.
  • FSVP Plan Development or Review: Helps foreign importers of FDA-regulated products comply with the Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) plan requirements. This includes either reviewing an existing plan for compliance or creating a custom plan.

These new services join a comprehensive suite of food safety consulting services offered by J. J. Keller.
