Our Beginnings
Food Safety International, Inc. started as a family run business. Our work started in 1976.

As an auditing firm, we inspected over 150 businesses each year for the last eight years before we incorporated as Food Safety International. After 9/11, we recognized the need for personalized service for security and safety in the food industry. Since then, we have been modifying Food Safety International's programs to specialize in these areas, including a review of the recall procedures. We have also used our training in the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) to help our customers get ready for the global industry.
In March 2004, Food Safety International became incorporated in order to provide better service to our customers.
General Overview
The audit process consists of documentation review at the end of the actual inspection. Integrated Pest Management (Pest Control) procedures, operational issues, maintenance for food safety and cleaning practices, are inspected and rated according to the government regulations for the food industry.
Security concerns are reviewed and documented but no rating is presently given for security issues unless food safety has or will be compromised.
Food Safety auditing is our main focus for the food industry in relation to FDA and USDA Code of Federal Regulations and Compliance Guidelines and Standards for Food Safety. These standards include the U.S. Federal Food , Drug, and Cosmetics Act 1938, the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP's) DFR Title 21, Part 110 (1986), The Global Food Safety Initiative, the U.S. Military Sanitary Standards, and the U.S. Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
