Food Safety Compliance & HACCP Programs for Food Processors

Food Safety Systems Built for Real Processing Operations

Custom Preventive Control Plans (PCPs), HACCP programs, audit preparation, and compliance support for food processors.

Food processing introduces additional food safety risks that go beyond basic storage or distribution. Ingredient handling, allergen control, sanitation programs, temperature controls, and process monitoring must all be documented and verified.

A strong food safety system is not just regulatory protection — it’s a foundation for stable growth.

Where Many Processing Facilities Struggle

Food processors frequently encounter:

  • HACCP plans that don’t reflect current production

  • Incomplete hazard analyses

  • Weak allergen management controls

  • Documentation gaps during audits

  • Poor traceability performance

  • Rapid growth without structured systems

When food safety programs are reactive rather than preventive, the business becomes vulnerable to audit failures, recalls, or lost contracts.

Preparing for Retail & Third-Party Audits

Large retailers and distributors increasingly require structured HACCP programs and documented preventive controls. Certification standards such as HACCP, SQF, and BRCGS demand clear documentation and operational discipline.

Iron Apple helps processors prepare for:

  • Regulatory inspections

  • Retail supplier approvals

  • Third-party certification audits

  • Customer-driven compliance reviews

Compliance isn’t just about passing — it’s about protecting long-term contracts.

A Structured Approach to Compliance

1. Review Your Current System
We assess documentation, production flow, and risk controls.

2. Identify Gaps & Operational Risks
We evaluate hazards specific to your processes and ingredients.

3. Build or Strengthen Your Program
We develop clear, practical documentation and control systems.

4. Prepare for Inspection or Audit
You gain confidence when customers or regulators review your facility.

Protect Your Production. Strengthen Your Compliance.

Food safety systems should support efficiency — not slow it down. Iron Apple helps Canadian food processors build structured, practical programs that reduce risk and support growth.
