Food safety and compliance consulting for New Zealand food businesses — from Risk Management Programme development and internal audits to HACCP plans and reviews.
Food safety and compliance consulting for New Zealand food businesses, built on deep seafood-sector experience.
SIS provides food-safety and compliance as a dedicated practice — developing the Risk Management Programmes seafood processors run on and auditing their food-safety systems. We work with seafood companies and food businesses of all kinds.

An RMP sits under the Animal Products Act 1999 and is used by processors of animal products such as seafood, especially where product is sold wholesale or exported. A Food Control Plan sits under the Food Act 2014 and is generally used by retail food businesses, supermarkets and food outlets. Both are HACCP-based food-safety systems.
