Auditing - Internal, Verification, Supplier and Mock Retailer Audits

In addition to the standard auditing we carry out as detailed below, we are providing audits against the Tesco Food Manufacturing Standard (TFMS) of you and your suppliers. These are provided with the support of Tesco, please ask for details, and we provide you the opportunity to receive a Mock PIU Audit, which provides you with a GAP analysis to take action on prior to your actual Tesco PIU.  Please enquire directly with Vince Adams at vince.adams@verifood.co.uk.

The preparation, carrying out, reporting and follow up of your auditing requirements can utilise a great deal of resource. The use of an experience and qualified independent external resource can provide your business with valuable support.

BRC Pre-evaluation
In preparation for your initial BRC evaluation or the annual visit from your certification body we can provide you a pre-evaluation to identify any actions you should address. This will provide you with more confidence and an opportunity to prioritise the focus required leading into the full evaluation. A full report and recommendations is provided with support provided up to your successful evaluation.
Your needs are specific to your business, so contact us for some no obligation enquiry.

Internal Auditing
Independence is required to achieve conformance to your internal auditing schedule. Your schedule should support your continual improvement. We can provide support in setting up your audit programme and carrying out professional audits. Whether it’s a one off audit or a long term contractual agreement, please contact us to give you the best advice.

HACCP Verification
Often forget, the sixth HACCP principle that is glossed over. Our combined HACCP knowledge and auditing experience can provide you with the most effective HACCP verification audit. We provide you with a full report and recommendations to satisfy the requirements of your HACCP Standards. If you are not reviewing and verifying the performance of your HACCP, contact us to give you some direction. You have responsibility to use auditing and other methods to verify your HACCP performance.

Supplier Auditing
To approve your suppliers, respond to their poor performance or satisfy your documented systems. We have carried out first and second party audits of suppliers in the UK and overseas. The safety and quality of your products starts with your suppliers. If you know who you are buying from, you will know how they ensure it is safe and the quality you demand to meet your customers’ requirements. Contact us to assess and provide some support in ensuring you are managing your suppliers, just like your customers manage you.
