Internal Food Safety Auditing

Most small food businesses fail audits not because they're unsafe — but because their documentation doesn't reflect what they actually do. AMES Food Advisory audits your operation through the eyes of a council officer or third-party auditor, then helps you fix what it finds.

Questions & Answers

What happens if we find a major non-conformance during an internal audit?

An internal audit is a safe space. We identify the root cause of the non-conformance, document a corrective action, and implement it immediately so that it is completely resolved before an official auditor arrives.

Can you act as our representative during a retail audit?

Yes, we can be present on-site during your audit to help explain procedures, present documentation, and handle audit inquiries directly with the certification body.

Need clear, actionable food safety advice?

We work directly with your business to construct robust quality structures, training platforms, and audit preparedness tools.
