Comprehensive FSMS Support

End-to-end consultancy services designed to strengthen your food safety system, prepare for audits, and ensure compliance with global standards.

Gap Analysis & Readiness Assessment

Service 01

A detailed review of your organization's existing food safety system against applicable standards such as ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, BRCGS, HACCP, and GMP/GHP requirements.

The assessment covers current documentation, process controls, hygiene practices, PRPs, hazard analysis, CCP/OPRP controls, traceability, supplier control, training records, internal audits, and management review practices. It helps identify missing requirements, weak controls, incomplete records, and areas that may create non-conformities during certification or customer audits.

This service gives your organization a clear understanding of its present compliance status. It helps management prioritize actions, reduce audit risk, avoid unnecessary rework, and prepare a practical roadmap for system improvement.

  • Identify gaps against target standards
  • Assess documentation and process controls
  • Evaluate hygiene practices and PRPs
  • Review hazard analysis and CCP controls
  • Check traceability and supplier management
  • Prepare actionable improvement roadmap
How CQBS Will Help

CQBS will conduct a practical, site-specific gap assessment and compare your existing system with the required standard. Our team will prepare a clear gap report with observations, risk areas, required corrections, and an action plan. This helps you understand exactly what needs to be improved before moving toward certification or customer audit readiness.

Documentation & FSMS Implementation

Service 02

Support in developing and applying a structured Food Safety Management System suitable for your actual operations.

The service includes preparation or improvement of food safety policy, objectives, SOPs, process flow diagrams, hazard analysis, HACCP plan, PRP records, monitoring formats, corrective action formats, recall procedure, traceability records, supplier evaluation process, internal audit formats, and management review records.

The purpose is not only to create documents but to make sure the system works at site level. Proper implementation helps employees follow consistent practices, improves control over food safety hazards, strengthens legal and customer compliance, and creates reliable audit evidence.

  • Develop practical, audit-ready documentation
  • Create process-specific SOPs and work instructions
  • Build effective HACCP plans and hazard controls
  • Establish monitoring and corrective action systems
  • Implement traceability and recall procedures
  • Train teams on system implementation
How CQBS Will Help

CQBS will support your organization in preparing required FSMS documents based on your actual process, product category, facility layout, and operational risks. We will also guide your team in implementing these documents on the shop floor, so the system is not limited to paperwork but becomes part of daily food safety practice.

Internal Audits & Management Reviews

Service 03

Help verify whether your Food Safety Management System is properly implemented, maintained, and improved.

The internal audit checks departments, processes, records, hygiene conditions, monitoring activities, operational controls, corrective actions, and compliance with the applicable standard. Management review evaluates overall FSMS performance, including audit results, customer complaints, non-conformities, food safety objectives, resource needs, changes affecting the system, and improvement opportunities.

This service helps organizations identify problems before the external audit. It also supports management in taking informed decisions based on actual system performance rather than assumptions.

  • Conduct thorough internal audits
  • Identify non-conformities before external audits
  • Evaluate system effectiveness and compliance
  • Prepare management review inputs and agendas
  • Track corrective actions and follow-ups
  • Support data-driven decision making
How CQBS Will Help

CQBS will conduct internal audits with a practical auditor's approach and identify areas that need correction before the certification or customer audit. We will also assist in preparing management review inputs, meeting agenda, review records, action points, and follow-up status so that top management can evaluate the food safety system effectively.

Certification Readiness Support

Service 04

Prepares your organization for certification, surveillance, renewal, or customer audits.

The service includes final review of documents, mandatory records, hazard analysis, PRPs, CCP/OPRP monitoring, corrective actions, legal compliance, calibration records, training records, supplier records, traceability exercises, mock recall results, internal audit closure, and management review outputs.

It helps your team understand what evidence may be required during the audit and how to present it properly. This reduces last-minute pressure, improves audit confidence, and lowers the possibility of avoidable non-conformities.

  • Final pre-audit documentation review
  • Verify mandatory records and evidence
  • Conduct mock audits and readiness checks
  • Prepare staff for audit interviews
  • Guide on evidence presentation techniques
  • Support non-conformity response preparation
How CQBS Will Help

CQBS will carry out a final readiness check before the audit and help your organization close pending gaps. We will guide your team on audit evidence, record presentation, employee preparedness, and common audit expectations. Our role is to make your organization technically ready, confident, and well-organized before the actual audit.

BRCGS, FSSC 22000 & ISO 22000 Support

Service 05

Technical support for implementation and audit readiness against major food safety standards.

ISO 22000 focuses on establishing a Food Safety Management System for controlling food safety hazards across the food chain. FSSC 22000 builds on ISO 22000 with sector-specific PRPs and additional scheme requirements. BRCGS focuses strongly on product safety, legality, quality, site standards, operational control, hygiene, food defence, food fraud, and customer requirements.

This support helps organizations select and implement the right standard based on their product category, customer expectations, market requirements, and business goals. Certification against these standards can improve buyer confidence, support market access, strengthen internal controls, and reduce risks related to product rejection, complaints, or recalls.

  • Standard selection guidance
  • Standard-specific implementation support
  • Documentation aligned to scheme requirements
  • Process alignment and gap closure
  • Staff awareness and training
  • Audit preparation and NC closure support
How CQBS Will Help

CQBS will help your organization understand which standard is suitable for its business needs, customer expectations, and product risk profile. We will support standard-wise implementation, documentation, process alignment, staff awareness, audit preparation, and non-conformity closure. Our approach is practical, so the system remains useful for operations and not only for certification.

HACCP & GMP Compliance

Service 06

Helps organizations build strong basic and process-level food safety controls.

HACCP focuses on identifying and controlling biological, chemical, physical, and allergen-related hazards. It includes hazard analysis, identification of CCPs, setting critical limits, monitoring, corrective actions, verification, and record keeping.

GMP/GHP focuses on good operating practices such as personnel hygiene, cleaning and sanitation, pest control, waste handling, storage conditions, equipment maintenance, water quality, and facility hygiene.

This service helps reduce contamination risk, improve product safety, support legal compliance, and create a strong foundation for ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, BRCGS, and customer audits.

  • Conduct hazard analysis and risk assessment
  • Identify and validate CCPs/OPRPs
  • Develop monitoring and verification procedures
  • Establish GMP/GHP prerequisites
  • Train staff on food safety fundamentals
  • Create practical, usable record formats
How CQBS Will Help

CQBS will review your organization's process flow, raw materials, handling practices, hygiene conditions, and control measures to develop a practical HACCP and GMP compliance system. We will help identify hazards, define controls, prepare monitoring records, and train your team on basic food safety discipline required for safe and consistent operations.

Third-Party Audit Coordination

Service 07

Supports your organization in managing certification audits, customer audits, supplier audits, and surveillance audits in a structured and professional manner.

We support the organization in managing certification audits, customer audits, surveillance audits, and legal/regulatory audits by local council, department, or customer, in a structured and professional manner.

The service includes audit planning, agenda coordination, document arrangement, evidence preparation, staff briefing, communication support, audit-day coordination, and post-audit non-conformity closure support.

The aim is not to influence the auditor, but to ensure that your organization is prepared, records are available, responsibilities are clear, and audit responses are technically accurate. This helps reduce confusion during audits and improves the overall audit experience for both your organization and the audit team.

  • Audit planning and agenda coordination
  • Document and evidence preparation
  • Staff briefing and role assignment
  • Audit-day liaison and support
  • Post-audit NC response guidance
  • Corrective action closure support
How CQBS Will Help

CQBS will coordinate with your organization's team before and during the audit to ensure required documents, records, responsible personnel, and process evidence are properly arranged. After the audit, CQBS will also support your organization in understanding auditor observations and preparing suitable corrective action responses for closure.
