EAS Consulting Group, a provider of regulatory and compliance solutions for FDA- and USDA-regulated industries, announced the enhancement of its food safety consulting services to better support companies seeking certification under globally recognized food safety standards.

As regulatory expectations rise and global supply chain demands increase, food manufacturers, processors, and suppliers face growing pressure to obtain and maintain food safety certifications such as FSSC 22000, BRCGS, SQF, ISO 22000, and GlobalG.A.P.

EAS’s expanded services are designed to help companies prepare efficiently and effectively for certification audits and ensure long-term compliance. New and enhanced offerings include:

• Certification Audit Preparation: Hands-on support to assess readiness, address gaps, and guide organizations through the certification process.
• Mock Audits and Gap Assessments: Realistic, scheme-specific evaluations conducted by experienced consultants to simulate official audits and identify areas for improvement, as well as provide recommendations to address each.
• Customized Food Safety Management Systems: Development or refinement of compliant systems based on the latest scheme and regulatory requirements.
• Training and Education: On-site and virtual training sessions for food safety teams, quality managers, and frontline staff on audit standard expectations and protocols.
• Ongoing Compliance Support: Continued consulting after certification to maintain systems, perform internal audits, conduct on-going training support, and prepare for surveillance or recertification audits.

“Many of our clients are under increasing pressure from customers and regulators to achieve recognized food safety certifications,” said Tim Lombardo, Senior Director for Food Services at EAS Consulting Group. “We’re proud to offer tailored support that demystifies the certification process, improves audit outcomes, and helps organizations build stronger food safety systems.”

With decades of experience and a multidisciplinary team that includes former FDA and USDA officials, industry specialists, and food safety experts, EAS is uniquely positioned to support organizations at every stage of the certification journey — from initial preparation to post-audit continuous improvement.
