Contact Us TodayIndependent food safety audits in Boston serve a market split between harbourside seafood processors answering to FDA's Seafood HACCP regulation and the region's crowded field of emerging CPG and food-tech brands preparing for their first co-packer or retailer audit. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health Food Protection Program licenses and inspects manufacturers at the state level, so a well-scoped independent audit here typically checks three sets of expectations at once: federal, state, and customer.
Flip the direction: audit the co-packer. Before committing volume, we assess their allergen controls, sanitation, traceability, and whether their existing certifications actually cover your product category and process. Brand owners remain legally responsible for their product under FSMA, so a pre-contract audit plus an ongoing supplier-verification file is the minimum defensible position for a Boston brand using contract manufacturing.
The checklist centres on 21 CFR 123: species-related hazards (histamine, parasites), time-temperature control from vessel or receiving onward, water and ice safety, and Listeria environmental monitoring for ready-to-eat items. We also verify the sanitation monitoring records the regulation explicitly requires — a common FDA citation. General GMP items still apply, but the seafood-specific layer is where inspections are won or lost.
