We are audited by
AIB International, a third-party company solely focused on the food industry.
A food safety audit is a systematic, independent, and documented review of a food business's food safety management system. Its purpose is to ensure that a food business is compliant with food safety regulations and that food packaging is manufactured in a safe environment. Food safety audits evaluate a business's compliance with various criteria, including: Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP), Industry specific standards and guidelines, Food safety management system standards, and Customer specific requirements.
Audits focus on critical areas of food manufacturing, such as: food packaging storage, sanitation, facility design, and employee hygiene. Food safety audits can help businesses: Gain certification or recognition, Monitor internal conformance with policies and procedures, Identify areas of improvement, Select suppliers, and Verify that suppliers follow strict food hygiene standards.
Audits produce more detailed reports than inspections, which can include recommendations for improvement and potential risks.
