Case Study: Santa Monica Seafood achieves FSSC 22000 certification and Fresh & Easy (Tesco) approval with Safefood 360°

Santa Monica Seafoods - Customer Case Study

Santa Monica Seafood, a long-established seafood processor and distributor, needed to expand its food safety systems to meet GFSI requirements and retain Fresh & Easy (Tesco) retailer approval after moving into prepacked product processing. To replace paper-based controls, reduce maintenance burden and avoid external consultancy costs, Santa Monica Seafood selected the Safefood 360° Standard Edition web-based food safety management solution.

Safefood 360° delivered a phased, module-by-module rollout (no local IT install) and converted all systems in four weeks, replacing manual processes with a fully web-based platform. The Safefood 360° solution helped Santa Monica Seafood achieve FSSC 22000 certification (the first U.S. seafood processor under the scheme), record its highest Fresh & Easy audit score, cut time spent maintaining the system by 45%, reduce paper records by 90%, significantly lower non-conformances, and extend the system to a second plant.
