Clear deliverables and responsibilities
A proposal defines the work, expected outputs, timing, and fees. Depending on the engagement, outputs may include a technical review, an assessment summary, revised documents, or a prioritized action plan. Your business retains responsibility for operating its food safety system and implementing agreed actions.
Consulting and readiness assessments do not issue facility certification or guarantee an audit outcome. Any certification audit is handled through the appropriate certification body.
