FAQ
GAP Audits
Are normally conducted prior to the certification audit. This can be referred to as the initial stage of the food safety certification road map. It involves evaluating the current system against the planned certification standard and identifying gaps that may exist. The benefit of GAP audits is that it allows for the identification of the resources (financial and labour) needed to assist with the implementation process. We specialise in (HACCP, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, ISO 9001, PRP’s).
