How I can help

Working towards food safety certification?

You may have been asked to meet FSSC 22000, BRCGS, SANS 10330, ISO 22000 or a retailer requirement. We start by understanding what applies to your operation and what you already have in place.

I work with your team to develop a system for your operation and the standard you need to meet. We need to understand how the work happens and what your team needs to do it.

Where are you starting from?

We start with what you need to achieve, what your buyers require, your timing and your budget.

Direction 01

A customer audit is coming

A buyer has asked for an audit. We look at their requirements, what you already have in place, and what needs attention before the audit.

Direction 02

Building toward certification

You want to work towards certification. We agree the steps and a timeline that takes account of your business and what your team can take on.

Direction 03

Certified by a specific date

You have a certification date to work towards. We check what needs to be done and plan the work with your team.

How much support do you need?

These are some ways we can work together. We agree the work, responsibilities and fee before we start.

Option 01

Documents built, your team runs it

I help develop the procedures, records and HACCP plan for your operation. Your team puts them into use. This suits businesses with someone available to lead the implementation.

Option 02

Built and worked through together

I help develop the system and work through it with your team. We agree how often to meet, what support is needed and how long the work will take.

Option 03

All the way through the audit

Support can include documents, training, internal audits, a mock recall and help during the certification audit. We agree what your operation needs before starting.

What goes into a food safety system?

A food safety system includes the work people do every day, the controls that keep food safe, and the evidence that those controls work. These parts need to work together.

Foundation
PRPs · Training · Records · Culture · GMPs
The daily work: cleaning, pest control, training and records. People need to know what to do, why it matters and how to check it.
Middle
HACCP · Verification · Internal Audits
Identify food safety hazards, put controls in place and check that those controls are working.
Top
Certification · Audit Readiness
Prepare to show the auditor how your system works, with records and evidence from the work your team does.
About Bennii

About Bennii.

Twenty-five years in South African food manufacturing — on production floors, in laboratories, in the audit room. I have built systems for wineries, food producers, and everything in between. My training is in food technology and quality management, and I bring that experience into the work I do with clients.

I want the work we do together to be useful to the people doing it. That means listening to your team, making time for questions and explaining the reasons behind the requirements.

What we do together depends on what you need. We can start with a conversation.
