HACCP Consulting and Food Safety Plan Development Australia Wide

Customised HACCP plans and food safety programmes built by practising food safety auditors who know exactly what passes and what fails. Serving food manufacturers, caterers, and hospitality businesses across all Australian states and territories.

Audit Tested Frameworks

HACCP Plans Built to Pass, Not Just to Exist

A HACCP plan is not a document you create once and file away. It is a living operating system that must reflect your actual operations, your ingredients, your processes and your risks, and it must satisfy your regulatory auditor. ANFSI develops, reviews and strengthens HACCP plans and food safety programmes for food businesses of all sizes across Australia.

Our consultants are practising food safety auditors. That means every plan we build is designed to pass scrutiny, because we know exactly what auditors look for, what triggers non conformances and what separates a compliant food safety programme from one that exists only on paper.

Tailored Solutions

Our HACCP and Food Safety Consulting Services

From initial hazard analysis to full standard upgrades and emergency recall response across Australia.

01

HACCP Plan Development

ANFSI develops customised HACCP plans based on the seven Codex Alimentarius principles (2020 revision). We conduct a full hazard analysis of your operation, identify critical control points specific to your processes, establish monitoring procedures your team can actually follow, and document everything to the standard your regulatory auditor expects. Whether you are a single site kitchen or a multi line food manufacturer, the plan is built around what you do, not a generic template.

02

Food Safety Programme Development

Under Australian state and territory food safety legislation, many food businesses must maintain a documented food safety programme that includes hazard analysis, critical control points, monitoring procedures, corrective actions, verification activities and supporting prerequisite programmes. ANFSI builds complete food safety programmes from scratch, or reviews and upgrades your existing programme to meet current regulatory standards including Food Safety Standard 3.2.2A.

03

Pre Audit Gap Analysis

A gap analysis identifies where your food safety system falls short of the standard you will be audited against, before the audit happens. ANFSI conducts structured gap assessments against TPA regulatory requirements, GFSI schemes (SQF, BRCGS, FSSC 22000), ISO 22000:2018 and major retailer standards. You receive a prioritised findings report with specific actions, so your team knows exactly what to fix and in what order.

04

Allergen Management and VITAL 4.0

Allergen management is one of the fastest growing areas of regulatory and consumer scrutiny. ANFSI develops allergen management plans that cover ingredient risk assessment, cross contact prevention, supplier verification, staff training and labelling compliance. Our consultants work with the VITAL 4.0 risk assessment framework to help you make defensible precautionary allergen labelling decisions based on quantitative thresholds, not guesswork.

05

Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS)

For businesses seeking to move beyond basic compliance, ANFSI designs and implements food safety management systems aligned to ISO 22000:2018 and GFSI benchmarked standards. This includes management responsibility, resource planning, communication protocols, operational prerequisite programmes, HACCP, verification and continual improvement frameworks.

06

Food Incident Investigation and Recall Support

When something goes wrong, a customer complaint, a suspected contamination event, a product recall, you need expert support fast. ANFSI provides incident investigation, root cause analysis, corrective action development and recall system implementation. We also help you build traceability and recall systems that can be triggered within hours, not days.

Compliance & Labelling

Label Compliance and Nutrition Panel Reviews

Food labelling errors can result in product recalls, regulatory action and significant financial exposure. ANFSI reviews your labels against FSANZ Food Standards Code requirements including ingredient declarations, allergen statements, nutrition information panels, date marking and country of origin labelling.

Clarity & Advice

Frequently Asked Questions

Expert insights into HACCP timelines, plan updates, and audit pass rates.

For a straightforward single site food business, a HACCP plan can typically be developed within two to three weeks from the initial site consultation. More complex operations, multi site manufacturers, Cook Chill facilities, or businesses seeking GFSI certification, may take four to eight weeks depending on product range and facility scope.
Yes. Many of our engagements are plan reviews and upgrades rather than new builds. We assess your current documentation against regulatory requirements and Codex 2020 principles, then address the specific gaps rather than replacing the entire system unnecessarily. This saves you significant time and cost.
If your business is required to maintain a documented food safety programme under state legislation or Food Safety Standard 3.2.2A, that programme must be based on HACCP principles. Your TPA or regulatory auditor will assess your hazard analysis, CCPs, monitoring logs, and corrective action records as part of every audit. A well constructed, current plan is the foundation of an audit pass.
