Food safety & certification · Produce & greenhouse
Stay audit-ready every day of the season.
Your GAP or Primus certificate sits on water tests, training logs, sanitation records, and a lot trace that survives a mock recall. One gap is a critical finding.
The reality
Food safety is a documentation problem.
The auditor's date lands, and the binder gets dragged out: missing ag water sample results, training sign-in sheets nobody filed, a sanitation log with a gap, a corrective action from last year never closed. The mock recall has to reconcile lot codes back through pack records and shipping logs — and any break in that chain is a critical finding that risks the certificate.
The operator owns food safety end to end: it keeps water testing, training, sanitation, and pesticide records current and dated, runs the mock recall and reconciles the lot trace, drafts and closes corrective actions, and assembles the audit package — so the operation is audit-ready at all times with zero critical findings.
How the operator runs food safety & certification
GAP audit prep · Records
tracking- Q2 ag water sample on file
- Worker hygiene training logged
- Wash-line sanitation log gap — requested
01Keep the records current
Tracks ag water tests, worker hygiene training, sanitation, and pesticide logs against the FSMA and GAP checklist.
Mock recall · Lot 0612-A
tracing- Lot 0612-A traced to pack record
- Shipping BOLs reconciled
- Recall completed in 2h — documented
02Run the mock recall
Traces a lot code back through pack and shipping records, reconciles the chain, and times the recall.
Audit package · Corrective actions
closing- Sanitation gap corrective drafted
- Completion verified and signed
- Gap report closed — package ready
03Close corrective actions
Drafts corrective actions for each gap, verifies completion, and assembles the audit package for the certifier.
The outcome
−65% of food safety admin off the team
Audit-ready at all times, zero critical findings.
- Water, training, and sanitation records stay current instead of rebuilt before each audit
- The lot trace survives a mock recall every time
- Corrective actions get closed, not carried over to next year's audit
