Food Safety

 

  1)   USDA Compliance Assistance - EIAO Preparation or Response, NOIE or Notice of

         Suspension Response

  2)   HACCP Plan Verification / Reassessments to promote regulatory compliance and

         continuous improvements

  • Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) Plans

                 °  Plan Development

                     Chilton Consulting Group offers a Total HACCP System from pre-requisite program evaluation

                     through initial plan verification.  This process is accomplished in four phases using Chilton's

                     exclusive Total HACCP System Development Methodology as our Consultants facilitate the

                     process, make recommendations, and assist with plan documentation.  All of this is accomplished

                     on site at your facility to assure involvement of key personnel and an effective, efficient process.

                 ° HACCP Plan Implementation

                     If your plan is written, Chilton Consulting Group offers training programs customized to your

                     facility for management, employees, and critical control point personnel.   Let us help you create

                     and execute an effective implementation strategy that heightens food safety awareness

                     to all of your employees.          

                 °3rd Party Plan Verification, Validation, or Comprehensive Reassessment

                     Chilton Consulting Group can perform a 3rd party audit to verify the effectiveness of your

                     written plan, plan adherence, critical limits, and overall accuracy.  Chilton consultants assure

                     your HACCP Plan is properly validated and provide reports for proper validation and ongoing

                     process improvements. 

 

  3)  Sanitation and GMP Audits to evaluate prerequisite programs

  • Environmental Sanitation Audits

      Chilton Consulting Group can audit your facility to measure the effectiveness of your sanitation program   

       and prevent pathogens in your environment.  A Microbiologist visually observes and swabs pre-op and

       post-op conditions to conduct this audit.  A certified laboratory analyzes samples for total counts or

       specific pathogens.  These results are communicated in a written report with interpretations and

       recommendations.  Also included is a training program for all Sanitation employees to emphasize the

       importance of good sanitation and a review of Silliker Labs Smart Sanitation video.  It is much wiser to

       identify and resolve bacterial problems in your plant environment before your products become involved

       or contaminated. 

 

  4)  Food Safety and Quality Audits to evaluate the overall food safety and quality systems

  •       Food Safety and Quality Audits

      Chilton Consulting Group has developed the most comprehensive Food Safety and Quality Audits.

      Our auditing checklist and score summary are the best available in the industry today.  This system has

       been developed by a group of leading consultants, sanitarians, professors, and companies in the food

       industry.   Audits are effective for companies, co-packers, suppliers, and warehouses.  

      These audits can be customized for particular companies based on your individual needs.  Specific

       modules are available to analyze food safety, food quality, quality systems, and bio-security of

       ready-to-eat products.  Each audit independently measures the adequacy of the written programs,

       implementation, and records to assure the system has been effectively designed, implemented and

       verified. 

  •       Product Recall / Crisis Management Plans

      Chilton Consulting Group can customize a Recall or Crisis Management Plan for your facility.  If

      necessary, Chilton can help you develop and create the documentation for a traceability system

      throughout your operation to track your raw materials and finished products through the production and

      distribution system.  With today's turbulent regulatory environment and pathogen reduction

      performance standards, every company should be prepared with an effective written Recall or Crisis

      Management Plan in the event it is needed. 

  • Audit Preparation Service

      Chilton Consulting Group also has an Audit Preparation Service to help companies prepare for

      specific customer required audits.  This service can improve operations and assure acceptable scores

      on audits.
