The gap analysis provides the information needed to determine if your company requires re-designation of food safety responsibilities. It is important that responsibilities are aligned with each manager’s job description and line of command. Clearly defined responsibilities and a well-designed chain of command foster personal accountability and system-wide success.
The first step toward compliance is the evaluation of your current food safety programs against FSMA or GFSI system requirements. This involves an extensive review of your documents, building, processing equipment, employee practices, current food safety system design, and company culture. This process gives us a big picture understanding of the gaps in your system and helps identify exactly where change needs to be implemented to meet industry and government safety standards.
Superior Food Safety assists employees from diverse backgrounds at low and high-risk food manufacturing plants as they implement, manage, and maintain FSMA compliance programs and GFSI systems (SQF, BRC, FSSC2200, IFS, etc.). Our proprietary methodology is based on core principles of integrity and personal responsibility – the key factors in all successful food safety operations. This unique methodology helps our clients develop and build their own Risk Management Culture® that forms the foundation of all future safety endeavors in their organization.
Using our proprietary methodology, Superior Food Safety’s expert will visit your site and evaluate your company’s current food safety system against GFSI and regulatory requirements. Using strong analytical skills, the expert will identify any gaps in your existing Food Safety Culture, Food Safety System Designs, and Food Safety Requirements. Once the gap analysis is completed, our expert will recommend specific strategies, forecast systematic issues and create a Project Timeline for the improvement and/or total implementation of a reliable, cost-effective food safety program. Superior Food Safety’s methodology has been proven successful in helping clients achieve GFSI certification audits with good to excellent scores.
Food Safety Culture Surveys
We will measure the company employees’ food safety and quality culture to understand how things are being done, to see if changes may be needed, and to track the progress of any changes made. Because people’s behavior drives food safety culture, it can be affected by many factors, including:

Using our proprietary methodology, Superior Food Safety helps its clients:
Oscar Camacho is the co-founder and President of Superior Food Safety and Superior Food Safety Franchising USA-based companies. His consulting and training engagements span the globe and the food industry, including food production at large, medium, and small-scale manufacturing plants. With over 34 years of progressive hands-on experience in the food industry, including ownership of two food processing plants and extensive work with two of the largest food manufacturers in the world. Camacho’s inspiring, first-person accounts of food safety successes and failures put accountability into sharp focus for his clients and their employees. Food safety workers emerge from Superior Food Safety training or consulting sessions with a clear understanding of what it means to do the right thing.
What sets Mr. Camacho’s work apart is his ability to analyze top-to-bottom organizational charts and quickly zero in on systemic food safety flaws and deficiencies within each company. He identifies gaps and institutes ways to improve food safety culture, recommending the proper management for the right food safety program. As companies with compromised food safety systems know, merely instituting programs and hoping they are enforced is a costly and futile exercise. Success requires company-wide allegiance to excellence, clear lines of communication and reporting, personal accountability, provision of resources to maintain the programs, and continuous improvement when systems do not work smoothly.
Academic Credentials and Certifications
Mr. Camacho is a certified Lead Instructor and consultant for Food Safety Preventive Controls for Human Food, HACCP Alliance, Foreign Supplier Verification Program, a Registered SQF Consultant & SQF Trainer, and a former SQF Auditor. He holds a BS in Biology and an MS in Food Science and Engineering from the Universidad Politecnica de Valencia in Spain, a Certification in International Management with studies in business administration, and a Certification in Enterprise Risk Management. Oscar has helped numerous companies in the supply chain achieve SQF, BRCGS, and FSSC22K certifications with excellent scores and FSMA compliance.
This breadth of knowledge and experience enables Mr. Camacho to effectively advise clients in organizing and assigning food safety roles within a Food Safety System.
