Remote PCQI Services for Food Safety Record Review and Approval
FDA Food Safety Record Review and PCQI Approval Services
Review and Approve Food Safety Records in Compliance with 21 CFR 117.165
Food safety records are the documented evidence that your Food Safety Plan is being implemented as designed. Under 21 CFR §117.165, monitoring records, corrective action records, verification records, and other required documentation must be reviewed within FDA-established timeframes by, or under the oversight of, a Preventive Controls Qualified Individual (PCQI).
At PCQIServices.com, we provide professional Remote PCQI Food Safety Record Review and Approval Services for food manufacturers, processors, packers, warehouses, beverage companies, ingredient suppliers, contract manufacturers, co-packers, importers, and private label brands.
Our experienced Preventive Controls Qualified Individuals (PCQIs) remotely review food safety records, verify documentation accuracy, evaluate compliance with your Food Safety Plan, identify deficiencies, and formally document record review and approval to support FDA compliance and inspection readiness.
Why Food Safety Record Review and Approval Is Important
Food safety records are often the first documents requested during an FDA inspection. They demonstrate that preventive controls were implemented, monitoring activities were completed, deviations were addressed, and verification activities were performed.
- • Preventive controls were implemented correctly
- • Monitoring was completed as required
- • Deviations were properly documented
- • Corrective actions were appropriate
- • Verification activities were completed
- • Required approvals were documented
- • Records are inspection-ready
A structured review and approval program strengthens your Food Safety Management System while reducing regulatory risk.
