Auditing Capabilities

What We Audit

Rigorous verification across regulatory standards, prerequisite programmes, and international supply chain benchmarks.

Third Party Regulatory Food Safety Audits

ANFSI is approved to conduct TPA regulatory food safety audits on behalf of the NSW Food Authority. Our auditors assess your food safety programme, monitoring records, temperature controls, cleaning schedules, pest management and staff hygiene practices against Food Safety Standards 3.2.1, 3.2.2, 3.2.2A and 3.2.3. If your business falls under the Vulnerable Persons Food Safety Scheme or produces Cook Chill and ready to eat products, you are legally required to engage a TPA licensed auditor, and ANFSI holds the endorsements these audits demand.

Internal Food Safety Audits

An internal audit is your opportunity to identify gaps before a regulatory auditor does. ANFSI conducts independent internal audits that examine your entire food safety management system, from documentation and record keeping through to on floor practices. You receive a detailed report with prioritised corrective actions, giving your management team a clear improvement roadmap between formal regulatory audit cycles. Preparing for your first audit, a new standard or a certification? A food safety gap audit checks your whole system against the target standard before the real audit.

HACCP Certification Readiness Audits

Before investing in a full HACCP certification audit, a readiness review identifies where your plan, prerequisite programmes and verification activities stand. ANFSI assesses your system against Codex Alimentarius 2020 principles and provides a gap report so you can address issues before certification day, saving time, money and the risk of a failed audit.

Supplier and Subcontractor Audits

If your supply chain includes external suppliers, contract manufacturers or subcontractors, their food safety performance is your risk. ANFSI conducts second party supplier audits that verify your suppliers meet your specifications, regulatory requirements and approved supplier programme criteria. We audit on site or remotely, and deliver a structured compliance report you can share with procurement and quality teams.

GFSI, ISO 22000 and Retailer Standard Audits

For food manufacturers and processors seeking certification to globally recognised standards, ANFSI provides gap analysis, pre audit preparation and readiness audits across GFSI benchmarked schemes (SQF, BRCGS, FSSC 22000), ISO 22000:2018, and major Australian retailer standards including Coles CFMSR and Woolworths WSEP.

Transparent Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about regulatory requirements, costs, and audit consequences in NSW.

Do I legally need a food safety audit in Sydney?

If your business is classified as high risk under the NSW Food Act 2003, including businesses producing Cook Chill products, ready to eat foods, or serving vulnerable populations such as aged care, hospitals and childcare, you are legally required to have a food safety programme audited by a TPA licensed auditor. ANFSI holds active TPA licences with Cook Chill endorsement across NSW.

How often do I need a food safety audit?

The frequency depends on your risk classification and previous audit performance. Most high risk businesses in NSW are audited annually, but businesses with strong compliance history may qualify for extended audit intervals. Your auditor and the NSW Food Authority determine the schedule based on your audit rating.

What is the difference between a council inspection and a food safety audit?

A council inspection is an unannounced visit by a local government environmental health officer checking general compliance. A food safety audit is a structured, documented assessment of your food safety management system by an independent, accredited TPA auditor, producing a formal written report with findings and corrective actions.

How much does a food safety audit cost in Sydney?

Audit fees depend on the size and complexity of your operation, the type of audit required and the number of sites. Contact ANFSI for a tailored quote. We respond within one business day.

What happens if my business fails a food safety audit?

A failed audit identifies specific non conformances that need to be addressed. ANFSI provides a detailed corrective action report explaining every finding and the steps needed to fix it. We also offer post audit consultancy to help you implement corrections and prepare for a successful re audit.
