We perform gap audits to benchmark your operations against FDA’s Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and FSMA standards.
Do I need USFDA registration if I only export to the U.S.?
Yes. Any facility exporting food to the United States must register with the FDA.
What is FSMA and why is it important?
FSMA, or the Food Safety Modernization Act, is a U.S. law focused on preventing food safety issues rather than reacting to them. It’s important because it sets strict safety, hygiene, and preventive control requirements that all food businesses—including exporters to the U.S.—must follow to ensure safe, high-quality food reaches consumers.
What is PCQI training?
PCQI stands for Preventive Controls Qualified Individual — someone trained to prepare and manage food safety plans under FSMA.
Can you help with FDA label compliance for U.S. market?
Absolutely. We review your product labels against FDA regulations (claims, format, nutrients, allergens, etc.).
How do mock inspections help?
Mock inspections simulate FDA inspections so you can identify and fix gaps before they become a real issue.
Why do I need a gap assessment audit?
A gap audit benchmarks your existing operations against FDA expectations — helping you address non-compliance proactively.
