Eurofins Assurance North America | Consulting & Advisory Services
How Eurofins Assurance Supports Your SQF Edition 10 Transition
Eurofins Assurance provides independent, impartial consulting support, separate from audit and certification activities. Our Consulting & Advisory Services team brings 25+ years of hands-on food safety experience to help you prepare with confidence.
Our SQF Edition 10 Gap Assessment is tailored specifically for sites transitioning from SQF Edition 9, giving you a clear picture of readiness before your audit.
Why Conduct a Gap Assessment on SQF Edition 10?
A gap assessment allows you to move from uncertainty to control. This is particularly critical for significant changes at SQF Edition 10 and the implementation window is less than one year left.
Key benefits of a SQF Edition 10 Gap Assessment include:
- Identify non-conformities before the auditor does
- Reduce the risk of major findings and audit failures
- Prioritize actions based on risk and impact
- Strengthen food safety culture and operational consistency
- Save time and money by avoiding rushed corrective actions
- Enter your SQF Edition 10 audit confident and prepared
Unlike a certification audit, a gap assessment is non-scored, confidential, and consultative, with a focus entirely on improvement.
Our SQF Edition 10 Gap Assessment Process
Eurofins Assurance follows a proven, structured approach designed to deliver practical, actionable results.
| 1 | Scoping & Pre-Assessment We begin with a discovery discussion to understand your operation, certification scope, and current SQF maturity. |
| 2 | Document & Program Review A clause-by-clause review of your food safety system against SQF Edition 10, including:
|
| 3 | On-Site or Remote Evaluation We verify that documented programs reflect real practice through interviews, observations, and operational review; placing special focus on culture, change management, and monitoring. |
| 4 | Gap Report & Risk Prioritization You receive a detailed report mapping each gap to the applicable SQF Edition 10 clause, with findings categorized as Critical, Major, or Minor, including recommended actions and timelines. |
| 5 | Management Debrief & Action Planning We review results with your leadership team and help build a realistic, prioritized roadmap to close gaps effectively. |
| 6 | Optional Follow-Up Support Additional consulting and training support is available to assist with implementation and final audit readiness. |
