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 submit product formulations, ingredients, and labeling details to receive comprehensive compliance assessments across major international food regulatory bodies. The skill identifies specific gaps between your product and target market requirements, prioritizes remediation efforts by market opportunity, and generates actionable market-entry strategies with realistic timelines and resource estimates for each jurisdiction.

You can systematically evaluate accelerated aging studies (Arrhenius, humidity chamber, ASLT protocols) and extrapolate results to real-world ambient conditions. Claude helps you extract degradation patterns from multiple test scenarios, quantify safety margins, and build scientifically defensible shelf life predictions that satisfy regulatory requirements for FDA, EFSA, FSSAI, and other food authorities.

You can rapidly assess ingredient lists for nutritional completeness, calculate protein quality scores (DIAAS, PDCAAS), evaluate nutrient-nutrient interactions, identify fortification opportunities, and generate compliant nutrition labels. The skill helps you optimize formulations against USDA, FDA, EFSA, and Codex Alimentarius standards before lab testing, saving time and resources in product development.

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 submit marketing copy, label claims, or advertising language and receive a structured compliance assessment that maps claims against FDA/FTC guidance, state regulations, and case law. The skill identifies claim type (health claim, structure-function claim, comparative claim, etc.), flags regulatory risks across jurisdictions, assesses substantiation strength, and recommends revisions to reduce enforcement exposure. This accelerates claim review workflows and prevents costly post-launch violations.

You can create operation-specific HACCP plans that satisfy regulatory requirements (FSMA, GFSI, SQF, BRC) by analyzing your unique process flows, identifying biological/chemical/physical hazards, establishing science-based critical limits, and documenting defensible monitoring and corrective action procedures. This skill helps you translate regulatory principles into operational reality that your team can implement and auditors will accept.

You can design and execute professional texture profiling studies that decompose complex mouthfeel characteristics into measurable, reproducible dimensions. This framework guides you through panelist training with calibrated reference scales, standardized texture vocabulary, data collection protocols, and translation of sensory results into actionable product specifications that R&D and quality control can implement and monitor.
