Frequently Asked Questions - Food Safety Auditor in Houston

What types of food safety audits does Iyarkai conduct?
We conduct: (1) Internal audits against your documented food safety system; (2) Mock regulatory inspections simulating CFIA or FDA audits; (3) Mock third-party audits against SQF, BRC, ISO 22000, or GFSI codes; (4) Supplier/co-manufacturer audits to verify your supply chain; (5) Gap assessments for new certification initiatives.
How often should food businesses conduct internal food safety audits?
GFSI certification schemes typically require at least one full internal audit per year, with more frequent audits of high-risk areas. Regulatory requirements (SFCR) require you to verify your PCP is effective. We recommend quarterly targeted audits plus one annual full-system audit for most facilities.
What deliverables do we receive after a food safety audit?
You receive a written audit report with: executive summary, non-conformance findings rated by risk (critical/major/minor), specific corrective action recommendations with deadlines, positive observations, and an overall compliance score. We also provide a corrective action tracking template.
Can Iyarkai conduct supplier audits at our vendors' facilities?
Yes. We conduct on-site supplier food safety audits across Canada and the USA (and can arrange international audits through our partner network). We assess suppliers against your supplier approval requirements, GFSI standards, or CFIA regulatory requirements.

Independent Food Safety Audit in Houston: What Makes It Different

Houston combines the largest port complex on the Gulf with a massive food manufacturing and distribution base, so audits here regularly span both plant food safety and import supply-chain compliance — FSVP records for imported ingredients sit right beside HACCP and GMP documentation on the audit table. Add Texas DSHS licensing for state-regulated operations and the audit surface gets wide fast.

What does an FSVP audit component check?

That you (or your designated importer of record) hold hazard analyses for each imported food, documented supplier evaluations and approval, verification activities matched to the hazard (audits, testing, or record review), and reevaluation every three years or on new information. Port-adjacent distributors fail most often on the 'matched to the hazard' part.

Who regulates my Houston food business — FDA or Texas DSHS?

Often both: FDA for facilities in interstate commerce plus Texas DSHS licensing and inspection for manufacturers, warehouses, and wholesalers operating in-state. Our audits use a combined checklist so one walk-through covers both inspectors' expectations.

What to Expect from Our Independent Food Safety Audit

An independent third-party assessment of your food safety programs against a chosen standard (HACCP, GFSI scheme, GMP, regulatory).
