Why Supplier Approval and Audits Matter

Food safety starts at the source—with your raw materials. A robust supplier approval process is essential for:

  • Meeting United State's FSMA, EU, and Canadian food safety regulations,
  • Reducing the risk of contamination, fraud, and recalls,
  • Ensuring ingredient and product consistency,
  • Strengthening consumer confidence and brand reputation,
  • Gaining access to premium markets and distribution channels.

Our Supplier Approval and Third-Party Audit Services are designed to help your business meet—and exceed—food safety expectations across multiple regulatory frameworks, including FSMA (USA), EU Food Safety Regulations, and Canadian CFIA requirements.
