FDA Compliance Audit Assistant
Audit FDA FSMA and HACCP compliance to identify gaps before regulatory inspections
What You Can Do
Conduct comprehensive internal audits aligned with FDA FSMA requirements and HACCP principles across seven critical compliance domains. You'll identify and document compliance gaps in facility operations, documentation, personnel training, and supplier controls—mirroring the structure and rigor of actual FDA inspections. Generate detailed findings reports with remediation priorities and defensible corrective action plans that demonstrate systematic controls to FDA investigators.
Features
Example Output
Audit Finding Summary:
Finding #1 (Critical): Inadequate supplier verification documentation for high-risk raw materials
- Regulatory Requirement: FSMA §117.80(b) — Supplier verification program
- Current State: Supplier letters on file; no documented food safety audit records
- Remediation: Implement supplier food safety questionnaire and schedule on-site audits for top 5 suppliers by volume
- Timeline: 60 days
- Verification: Updated supplier files with completed questionnaires and audit reports
Finding #2 (Major): Personnel training documentation lacks content specificity for allergen controls
- Regulatory Requirement: FSMA §117.80(b)(1) — Supervisory personnel training on food safety preventive measures
- Current State: Generic food safety training records; no allergen-specific competency verification
- Remediation: Develop allergen control training module; retrain personnel; document comprehension assessment
- Timeline: 45 days
- Verification: Training roster with dates, topics, and test scores ≥80%
What's Included
- SKILL.md: Complete skill configuration and usage guidelines
- FDA Compliance Audit Checklist: Seven-domain structured evaluation framework with 60+ specific compliance questions
- Findings Documentation Template: Standardized format for recording findings with severity levels, regulatory citations, and remediation details
- Corrective Action Plan Template: CAPA structure with root cause analysis, remediation steps, timelines, responsible parties, and verification methods
- HACCP Verification Worksheet: Point-by-point checklist for validating HACCP plan components (hazard analysis, CCPs, critical limits, monitoring, corrective actions)

You can conduct rigorous allergen risk assessments that map allergen flow paths through facility design, equipment shared-use patterns, and personnel movement. This skill quantifies cross-contamination probability at each control point, prioritizes intervention investments based on risk severity, and produces audit-ready documentation demonstrating due diligence to regulators and third-party auditors.

You can transform raw sensory data and consumer feedback into standardized flavor architectures that drive formulation decisions. This skill systematizes descriptive analysis results, models how ingredient combinations create emergent flavor characteristics, and translates preference data into actionable formulation adjustments. You'll create evidence-based flavor briefs that align R&D and marketing stakeholder expectations while documenting flavor architecture for regulatory compliance.

You can input your current processing parameters (temperature, time, moisture, pH, and other critical control points) alongside performance metrics, and Claude will benchmark them against industry standards, identify which variables most influence your outcomes, and generate hypothesis-driven optimization recommendations. The skill helps you create reproducible protocols that reduce batch-to-batch variability while maintaining food safety compliance and regulatory requirements.
