sanitation assessments and more
FSCG conducts a variety of assessments. Not only do we audit your company’s programs, we help you evaluate and develop processes to make sure those gaps are properly addressed.
Assessments by food systems consulting group
GMP/facility
FSCG provides facility assessments for Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). This includes written program evaluation, employee production floor practices, facility maintenance and more.
pest control
FSCG can assess pest control programs including rodent and insect control. Pest Control Assessments may be performed separately or combined with GMP, Warehouse or Sanitation Assessments.
warehouse
FSCG conducts Warehouse Assessments for plants or third party warehouses including cold or dry storage. We evaluate written programs and effective implementation of Quality Storage Practices, GMPs, Sanitary Practices and Pest Control.
quality assurance & sanitation assessments
Quality Assurance and Sanitation Assessments are very in-depth. Our goal is to help clients not only know they have program gaps but understand how program gaps can impact their process and how to address them.
Quality Assurance
Assessment of your Quality Assurance Program takes one to one and a half days. We evaluate written programs, plant monitoring processes, verification documentation, HACCP Plan, GMPs, corrective action process and more. Time is also spent on the plant floor assessing how effectively your quality programs have been implemented.
Sanitation Assessments
The Sanitation Assessment is conducted over a two and a half to three day period. A day is used to begin review of the Written Sanitation Program. A day is used to observe Sanitation's cleaning practices (1st, 2nd or 3rd shift). Microbial swabs are taken of product contact and non-product contact surfaces after cleaning. Swabs are tested for non-pathogen indicator organisms to measure cleaning effectiveness. The final day is used to review any remaining program documents and conduct an exit meeting with plant staff.
