Frequently Asked Questions - Food Safety Auditor in Kitchener

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.
