Remote PCQI Services for Verification Procedures
FDA Verification Procedure Development by a Preventive Controls Qualified Individual (PCQI)
Develop Verification Procedures in Compliance with 21 CFR 117.155
Verification is essential to demonstrating that your Food Safety Plan is being implemented as designed. Under 21 CFR §117.155, food facilities must establish and perform verification activities to confirm that preventive controls are consistently implemented, monitored, and effective.
At PCQIServices.com, we provide professional Remote PCQI Verification Procedure Development Services to help food manufacturers, processors, packers, warehouses, beverage companies, ingredient suppliers, co-packers, contract manufacturers, importers, and private label brands establish FDA-compliant verification programs that support food safety and regulatory compliance.
Our experienced Preventive Controls Qualified Individuals (PCQIs) work remotely with your team to develop practical verification procedures that confirm your preventive controls, monitoring activities, corrective actions, and records are functioning as intended.
What Are Verification Procedures?
Verification procedures are documented activities used to confirm that preventive controls are being consistently implemented and remain effective over time.
While validation demonstrates that a preventive control is capable of controlling a hazard, verification demonstrates that the preventive control is actually being performed correctly during routine operations.

- • Meet FDA requirements under 21 CFR §117.155
- • Confirm that preventive controls are consistently implemented
- • Identify gaps before they become food safety issues
- • Improve confidence in your Food Safety Plan
