Food safety compliance is not static. Standards evolve, new export market requirements come into force, retailer demands shift, and the person responsible for keeping the systems current is usually already at capacity running the day-to-day. Compliance overload is one of the most common reasons food businesses fall behind – and it rarely shows up until an audit or incident makes it visible. Produco takes the compliance load off your team.
Compliance Overload
- Your FCP, HACCP plan, or RMP has not been reviewed or updated in more than 12 months
- A new MPI requirement, standard revision, or regulatory notice has come in and your team has not had time to assess what it means for your operation
- You are trying to maintain compliance across multiple standards – MPI, GFSI, retailer, and export market – and the overlap and differences between them are creating confusion
- Your quality manager is spending most of their time on compliance administration rather than driving improvement
You know your systems are not fully current, but do not have the bandwidth to fix them before the next audit - A new market opportunity has arrived – a new export country, a new retailer – and you are not sure what compliance requirements apply or what needs to change
- You are a small team wearing multiple hats, and food safety compliance is one of several things being managed reactively
How Produco Manages Compliance for Your Business
Our audit recovery process is designed to address the underlying causes of non-conformances, support successful close-out, and help your business achieve better outcomes at future audits.
Regulatory Interpretation
We monitor regulatory changes relevant to your sector and operation – NZ Food Act, MPI standards, Animal Products Act, export market requirements, and GFSI standard revisions. When something changes that affects your business, we tell you what it means in plain terms and what you need to do about it.
Document Maintenance and Update
We review, update, and maintain your FCPs, HACCP plans, RMPs, procedures, and monitoring records to make sure they reflect both how your operation actually runs and what the current regulations require.
Compliance Calendar and Planning
We help you build a compliance calendar – audit schedules, renewal dates, review cycles – so that compliance activity is planned and proactive, not reactive and last-minute.
Multi-Standard Alignment
If you are working across multiple compliance frameworks, we identify the overlap and the gaps and make sure your systems satisfy all of them without creating unnecessary duplication.
Fractional QA Support
If your business needs ongoing compliance management but cannot justify a full-time internal QA resource, Produco provides fractional QA support – a defined number of days per month, at the level you need, for as long as you need it.
