Send Your Registration Details
Provide your registration details or certificate so we can confirm the scope of your business and the type of plan or programme you operate under.
Confirm the Verification Scope
We confirm what type of verification is required — Template FCP, Custom FCP, My Food Plan, NP1/2/3, or other recognised verification services.
Schedule the Verification
An appointment is scheduled based on business availability, verifier availability, and any required timeframe. May be onsite, remote, or a combination.
Pre-Verification Preparation
Prepare relevant records and evidence: food safety records, temperature records, cleaning records, supplier records, traceability records, training records and previous verification reports.
Verification Visit or Assessment
The verifier checks food handling practices, hygiene, cleaning, temperature control, storage, allergen management, traceability, corrective actions and compliance with the registered plan or programme.
Verification Outcome and Report
A report is issued summarising the outcome, evidence reviewed, good practices observed, any non-conformances, and required corrective actions with timeframes.
Corrective Actions and Close-Out
If corrective actions are raised, address them within the required timeframe with evidence such as updated procedures, completed records, or staff training evidence.
Certificate or Confirmation After Verification
Once verification is complete and any required corrective actions are addressed, a verification outcome or confirmation is provided according to the reporting process.
Ongoing Verification Frequency
How often your business is verified depends on the type of plan or programme and how well your business manages food safety — see the frequency table below.
Changes to Your Business
If your business changes — new processes, products, ownership, site, equipment or scope — contact MPI or your verifier to confirm what needs to be updated.
Indicative Verification Frequency
Businesses that demonstrate good food safety management may have less frequent verification. Businesses with significant or repeated issues may need more frequent verification until acceptable outcomes are achieved.
Verification frequency can be affected by audit outcome, business risk, compliance history, corrective actions and how effectively the business manages food safety.
