Callaway Industrial Services, Inc has a staff of AIB trained professionals (The American Institute of Baking). The AIB is a training, certification and audit resource which helps food manufacturers and distributors to improve their food safety and quality management practices.

The audit format, score, rating, frequency, and corrective action timeline differ for each certification scheme. For example, all certification schemes cover food safety and legality in the scope, but some also include requirements for product quality.

  • SQF offers flexibility to start with food safety and legality and then add the quality level at a later time. More about SQF Audits
  • BRC tends to be very descriptive in their expectations, which can be a good fit for companies who are new to certifications audits because they provide clear direction. More about BRC Audits
  • FSSC may be a better fit for companies that want more flexibility in the contents of their Food Safety Management System. This flexibility works when an organization has the skills to document the scientific and legal justification for their approach. More about FSSC Audits
  • IFS is a risk-based standard that provides documented justification, which allows for custom requirements by site. More about IFS Audits
