Is Your Food Facility Audit-Ready? Here’s Why Monthly PCQI Oversight is Critical for FDA Compliance

In today’s increasingly regulated food industry, being “audit-ready” is no longer a seasonal goal—it’s a daily necessity. With the FDA’s enforcement of 21 CFR Part 117 under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), food facilities are required to implement comprehensive Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls (HARPC) systems. But the question remains: Is your facility truly compliant?

 

At PCQIServices.com, we specialize in Monthly PCQI Oversight Services designed to support food manufacturers, co-packers, and private labelers in maintaining active, fully compliant food safety programs.

What Does “Audit-Ready” Really Mean?

Being audit-ready means more than just having a HACCP plan on file. It involves:
  • • Conducting regular risk assessments
  • • Maintaining up-to-date preventive control plans
  • • Verifying implementation through corrective action workflows
  • • Retaining clear, well-organized documentation
  • • Ensuring a Qualified Individual is actively overseeing the food safety program
Any lapse in documentation, monitoring, or verification can result in FDA citations—or worse, product recalls.
