Compliance plans by industry

Plans built around how your operation is regulated. Required services are built in; everything else is optional.

Every price below is a starting price. Your final price is by quote after we understand your facility.

Monthly compliance plans

Pricing depends on facility size and sampling frequency.

Processor Compliance Plan

MDA Equal-To processing, no slaughter

Monthly plan
Starting at $400 per month
Sampling schedule
Quarterly: from $400/month · Monthly: from $650/month

Includes:

  • Listeria environmental testing at the frequency your plant’s Listeria program requires (typically monthly or quarterly), done in-house.Why it’s included: Required for plants making ready-to-eat product that’s exposed after cooking: a written program with at least 12 food-contact-surface samples per year (MDA; 9 CFR 430).
  • A preventive pest control program: written plan, monitoring, inspections and records. Any pesticide application is referred to a licensed applicator.Why it’s included: Every establishment must have a pest management program (9 CFR 416.2).
  • The annual HACCP reassessment.Why it’s included: HACCP plans must be reassessed at least annually and whenever anything changes (9 CFR 417.4).

Listeria and indicator testing is performed in our own lab, which is not yet ISO/IEC 17025 accredited. Where a regulation, customer or certification program requires an accredited laboratory, such as MDA’s generic E. coli carcass testing, we collect and ship the samples to an accredited lab and bill the lab fee at cost.
