Once the responsibilities are designated and the resources allocated, Superior Food Safety builds the project timeline and recommends a deadline to meet FSMA compliance or achieve GFSI certification. In this phase, your company will designate a Project Manager and a GFSI or FSMA Steering Management Team that will be meeting on a regular basis to follow up on project status for support and accountability. It is crucial that senior management be represented on this team as a demonstration of management commitment.

GFSI Systems and FSMA : Step 2 System Design
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.

GFSI Systems and FSMA : Step 1 GFSI/FSMA Gap Analysis
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.

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:
- The knowledge and abilities of the staff present at the time.
- The activities being carried out at that time.
- Management leadership and commitment Whether all staff commits to upholding and maintaining a behavior-based food safety and quality management system.
