ADDITIONAL AUDITS
Costco Proprietary Audits
If your facility requires Costco food safety verification, Safe Food Certifications has you covered.
Safe Food Certifications is approved by Costco to provide stand-alone Costco GMP audits and Costco Small Supplier audits, as well as the Costco Food Safety Addendum which can be combined with a GFSI certification audit.
Pre-assessment Audit
As your facility prepares for GFSI certification, it can be helpful to have an independent third party review your food safety system against your chosen standard to help you identify potential gaps and non-conformities. In these situations, a Pre-Assessment can be the perfect fit for your facility’s needs.
Safe Food Certifications can perform a Pre-Assessment against either the latest BRCGS or SQF standard to help you identify your strengths and weaknesses. A Pre-Assessment runs as a mock audit, which means that it will be every bit as thorough as the official certification audit but the results belong entirely to your facility, will not be reported to any other party, and cannot result in certification or a failed audit.
It is important to note that Pre-Assessments do not perform the same role as consulting, as the auditor performing the service will not be able to provide any advice on how to improve or address gaps and non-conformities. The auditor will be able to provide you with a list of identified gaps, the relevant sections of the food safety standard, and to help explain what—in general—the clauses of the food safety standard are requiring.
