FDA Mock Inspections
Ensure Full Compliance with Expert FDA Registration Services
FDA Food Facility Mock Inspections Overview
FDA Food Facility Inspections assess compliance with Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMPs), Preventive Controls, and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) standards over a 2-day review period. Inspectors evaluate areas such as Employee Hygiene, Plant Design, Sanitation Procedures, Ingredients, and Manufacturing Operations. They also check the facility’s execution of Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls (HARPC) plans according to Preventive Controls rules.
