Auditing & Certification

Our Auditing & Certification services help businesses demonstrate compliance, strengthen food safety practices, and meet regulatory requirements. We offer a range of audits, from hygiene and GAP analysis Audits, to labelling verification and plastic carrier bag compliance. Whether you are a start-up taking first steps in food safety, or an established company needing certification support, our team provides clear and actionable feedback.
We conduct Plastic Carrier Bag Audits against the latest NRCS-enforced standards: SANS 695:2021, SANS 14021, SANS 4591, ISO 17088:2021, and ISO 7000-1135. Audits verify minimum 75% PCR content, density, and specific gravity requirements, as well as environmental markings like the mobius loop. This ensures your packaging is legally compliant and environmentally responsible.
Our Hygiene Audit provides an entry-level assessment of food safety practices against criteria from GFSI, SANS 10049, FSSC 22000 (v5.1 basics), ISO/TS 22002-2:2013, and GMPs. We evaluate hygiene standards and offer clear recommendations for improvement based on aspects of the requirements from these regulations and standards . These audits are typically conducted in manufacturing industries, which include home industries, restaurants, takeaway outlets and catering kitchens.
A GAP (Good Agricultural/Good Manufacturing Practice) Analysis identifies compliance gaps against standards such as GFSI, SANS 10049, FSSC 22000 (v5.1 basics), ISO/TS 22002-2:2013, and GMPs. This audit provides a structured roadmap to full certification, identifying where your current systems fall short and what corrective actions are needed to meet recognized food safety standards.
Our Labelling Verification Audit ensures your products meet South African labelling regulations. We verify compliance with R146 (general food labelling), R2826 (canned & pickled vegetables), and other product-specific regulations. This desk audit helps reduce regulatory risk, avoid costly recalls, and ensure your labels are accurate, compliant and consumer-friendly.
