Higher-risk categories and longer logistics need stronger oversight. We verify supplier controls, document objective evidence, and track closure—so your importer program holds up under FDA scrutiny.
Pick the level of supplier verification you need right now—desk verification, on‑site verification, or managed protection. Each tier builds on the previous one to reduce risk, close gaps faster, and keep you inspection‑ready.

Ongoing tracking of supplier status, key documents, and risk signals—plus CAR governance and closure evidence over time.
One workflow—three delivery modes. We choose the verification method that matches your product risk and supplier maturity, then document everything for inspection-ready FSVP files.
We confirm products, suppliers, and risk inputs—then map you to Essential, Advanced, or Regulatory Shield™.
Desk audit (documents), on-site audit (facility), or ongoing monitoring (continuity)—selected based on risk.
English deliverables with linked evidence, findings, risk rating (when applicable), and clear action requests.
We track CARs to closure. With Regulatory Shield™, we add QI oversight, monitoring, and periodic compliance scorecards.
Verification is not one-size-fits-all. SafestSource offers desk audits, on-site audits, and managed protection with QI oversight—all designed to reduce FDA exposure and keep your FSVP records defensible.
FSVP requires risk-based supplier verification. Depending on hazard analysis and supplier risk, on-site audits may be appropriate or preferred—especially for higher-risk foods.
Essential fits mature or certified suppliers where document verification is sufficient. Advanced Verification is best when risk is higher or certification is absent and you need on-site evidence. Regulatory Shield™ is for multi-supplier operations that want ongoing oversight, monitoring, and inspection-day readiness.
No. We provide a verification program: desk audits, on-site audits, corrective action governance, and—under Regulatory Shield™—continuous monitoring with QI oversight so your FSVP system stays current between audits.
