Retail Food Safety & Quality

If you are serious about protecting your brand, and recognize the importance of competently performed food safety and quality audits as a way to drive conformity to regulatory, industry and proprietary brand standards, you need look no further. Steritech provides the most dependable audits in the industry – comprehensive, rigorous, technically accurate and consistent. We have made auditor competency an absolute priority, which is why we dedicate more resources to training, calibration and technical support than any food safety auditing company in our industry. By refusing to sub-contract our work, choosing instead to invest in the quality of our people, we are able to deliver the most accurate and consistent third party audits in North America, a commitment to quality that is unmatched in our industry. Our competitors use large networks of sub-contractors, many of whom receive little or no formal training and deliver audits on par with the much criticized public health inspections delivered by understaffed health departments across the country. Program standards are based primarily on the FDA Model Food Code, internationally accepted benchmarks, and industry best practices. Audits can also be customized to include client-specific criteria. The following criteria are a sample of line items seen in a typical Steritech Food Safety Audit: • Temperature Control • Food Storage & Protection • Equipment & Utensils • Cleaning & Sanitizing • Personnel Hygiene • Sanitary Facilities & Controls Audits are typically conducted once per quarter and can last from a few hours to a number of days, depending on the size and scope of your operation. Steritech conducts both announced and unannounced audits to meet your specific needs. AUDIT FINDINGS & DOCUMENTATION Steritech’s proprietary OnBrand Mobile Technology® platform provides sophisticated data capture, reporting and process automation capabilities. Audits are conducted using a tablet-style computer, enabling detailed documentation of findings and observations. At the conclusion of every Steritech Food Safety Audit, a Quality Management Specialist will review the findings with facility management and provide a comprehensive corrective action report while on-site. Audit results are then uploaded to Steritech’s secure reporting system. Audit findings can be managed to your specifications using our dynamic, multi-level reporting system, giving you unparalleled visibility over your data. And because we believe that data without action is overhead, we give you the capability to customize dashboards, create executive summaries, automate compliance processes and manage corrective action workflows. Steritech conducts nearly 100,000 audits a year in 30 countries and is a trusted partner to many of the world’s leading brands.
