The Food Safety Audit-Readiness Checklist

Work through it before your next SQF, BRC, retailer or FDA visit. If you can't tick a box, that's a finding waiting to happen — and it's far cheaper to fix now than to explain to an auditor.

  • 36 checks across plans, records, allergens, suppliers, traceability & facility
  • The two areas small manufacturers actually fail on
  • A scoring guide — so you know if you're ready to book the audit

Your food safety consultant

Hi, I'm Meera.

I've sat in the QA director's chair. I know most growing food companies need that expertise long before they can afford it full-time — so I make it available part-time, right-sized to where you are.

Twelve-plus years of hands-on food safety leadership across bakeries, manufacturers, airline catering, and certification bodies. I've written entire SQF programs from scratch and walked facilities through SQF, BRC, and FDA inspections — so when I step into your operation, I already know what "good" looks like.
