Develop and implement Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) plans that meet CFIA, FDA, and global regulatory requirements.
Denver's food sector spans craft brewing, meat processing, and a growing natural and organic food manufacturing cluster.

Contact Us TodayHACCP work in Denver splits along the city's two food economies: Front Range meat processors, for whom HACCP is a USDA-FSIS legal mandate with validation expectations set out in FSIS guidance, and the natural-foods and beverage cluster, where HACCP principles feed FDA Preventive Controls plans and underpin buyer-required GFSI schemes. Altitude adds a genuinely technical wrinkle — thermal processes validated at sea level do not automatically hold at 5,280 feet, where water boils near 202°F.
If your CCPs involve thermal processing, potentially yes. Lower atmospheric pressure reduces boiling point by roughly 10°F at Denver's elevation, which matters for cook steps, hot-fill operations, and any lethality calculation assuming sea-level water behaviour. Critical limits must rest on validation reflecting your actual process conditions. We review whether your scientific support was generated at conditions that match your plant — and re-validate where it wasn't.
FSIS expects annual reassessment of your HACCP plan, reassessment on any change affecting the hazard analysis, and responses to noncompliance records that fix systems rather than symptoms. Small plants get the same regulatory scrutiny as large ones with a fraction of the QA staff. Most Denver-area clients use us for the annual reassessment cycle and NR responses, keeping day-to-day monitoring in-house.
A systematic preventive approach to food safety hazards, required for federally-registered establishments and many GFSI schemes.
