Food Safety Audit Calgary | Mock Inspections & Gap Assessment
Identify food safety gaps before they become inspection findings, audit non-conformities or recurring operational problems.
CS Food Safety provides independent food safety audits, mock inspections and gap assessments for Calgary restaurants, commercial kitchens, manufacturers, processors, bakeries, caterers and other food businesses.
The objective is practical: understand what is working, identify what is not, prioritize the highest-risk issues and give your team a clear corrective-action path.
Independent Food Safety Audits in Calgary
Our audits are consulting assessments designed to evaluate readiness and food safety practices. They are not official AHS inspections and do not replace regulatory or certification-body audits.
Preparing for an AHS Inspection
For Calgary food businesses, AHS inspection readiness may involve facility hygiene, food handling, sanitation, temperatures, storage, staff practices and documentation.
We can conduct a mock inspection and help address identified issues, but only Alberta Health Services can conduct the official regulatory inspection.
Corrective Action & Follow-Up
Where requested, we can help move beyond the audit report by developing corrective actions, SOPs, training or follow-up verification.
