Frequently Asked Questions - Food Safety Auditor in Toronto

What types of food safety audits does Iyarkai conduct?
We conduct: (1) Internal audits against your documented food safety system; (2) Mock regulatory inspections simulating CFIA or FDA audits; (3) Mock third-party audits against SQF, BRC, ISO 22000, or GFSI codes; (4) Supplier/co-manufacturer audits to verify your supply chain; (5) Gap assessments for new certification initiatives.
How often should food businesses conduct internal food safety audits?
GFSI certification schemes typically require at least one full internal audit per year, with more frequent audits of high-risk areas. Regulatory requirements (SFCR) require you to verify your PCP is effective. We recommend quarterly targeted audits plus one annual full-system audit for most facilities.
What deliverables do we receive after a food safety audit?
You receive a written audit report with: executive summary, non-conformance findings rated by risk (critical/major/minor), specific corrective action recommendations with deadlines, positive observations, and an overall compliance score. We also provide a corrective action tracking template.
Can Iyarkai conduct supplier audits at our vendors' facilities?
Yes. We conduct on-site supplier food safety audits across Canada and the USA (and can arrange international audits through our partner network). We assess suppliers against your supplier approval requirements, GFSI standards, or CFIA regulatory requirements.

Independent Food Safety Audit in Toronto: What Makes It Different

Independent food safety audits in Toronto serve the full spectrum of Canada's largest food economy — federally-licensed manufacturers checking SFCR readiness, GTA co-packers being vetted by brand clients, importers verifying foreign suppliers, and food-service commissaries answering to Toronto Public Health and institutional buyers. With so many parties auditing each other across the region's supply chains, an independent audit's value is calibration: seeing your operation the way the next CFIA officer, retail auditor, or prospective customer will.

A major retailer is sending their own auditor — how should we prepare differently than for CFIA?

Retailer audits go beyond regulation into commercial standards: specification compliance, brand-protection items like food defence and packaging controls, social-accountability elements, and scheme-style scoring their vendor systems track. We obtain the retailer's audit standard where available and run a mirrored mock audit, because the gap between passing CFIA and scoring well on a Loblaw or Walmart vendor audit routinely surprises GTA plants.

What should an audit of our co-packer include before we sign a production agreement?

Verification their certifications cover your product category and process, allergen mapping against their existing product matrix — your allergen risk lives in their other customers' formulations — traceability and recall capability tested with a live exercise, specification and label-control systems, and financial-operational stability signals like staffing and maintenance condition. We audit prospective GTA co-packers against the risks brand owners actually inherit, not a generic checklist.
