QA department

The QA department serves as a vital hub in every food business. It ensures that all legislative requirements, industry standards and certification criteria are properly communicated across departments and embedded within the quality system. This includes training staff on the shop floor to build understanding and engagement. The department also conducts annual verification checks to assess whether work practices still meet quality requirements and food safety standards.

During these reviews, they examine company changes, complaint trends, pest control records, analysis results, product holds, CCP/CP documentation, and improvement points from internal and external audits. Management then uses this information to prepare a management review and set new objectives, ensuring the QA manager has a clear understanding of the organisation's vision and can make timely adjustments when needed.

Sparring partner

We understand that QA departments carry significant responsibility, and getting everything properly organised takes considerable time. To help save you some of that time and allow your QA staff to focus on their core work, engaging our advisors offers an excellent solution. They provide support and collaborate on various types of projects, such as:

  • Searching for an appropriate (GFSI) standard
