How joyce farms aced Their unannounced Brc audit

Joyce Farms, a heritage‑breed meat processor known for animal welfare and sustainable practices, struggled with outdated software that made audit preparation slow, stressful, and vulnerable—especially for unannounced audits. Quality Assurance Manager Jennifer Hamby often spent days hunting for records and had previously received write‑ups for missing documents during audits.

By adopting SafetyChain’s Digital Plant Management and using its Program, Document and Secure Auditor Profile features daily, Joyce Farms made all records instantly accessible to auditors. The facility aced an unannounced BRC audit with an AA+ score, eliminated audit prep time, and now maintains readiness with routine daily updates—delivering faster audits, less stress, and reliable compliance.
