Most food manufacturers are managing hygiene.
Very few have the resource to own it fully.
In most small food manufacturing businesses, hygiene compliance sits on the desk of the operations manager, the production supervisor, or a QA person who already carries significant responsibility alongside their core role.
It works — until demands increase. During periods of rapid growth or operational pressure, even well-run teams can find that documentation falls behind, environmental monitoring results are not always actioned as diligently as the situation requires, and cleaning verification becomes harder to maintain with the consistency a site deserves.
When an audit window arrives, the preparation that should be ongoing can become a compressed and pressured effort.
This is not a reflection on the people involved — it is a structural challenge. Hygiene is a complex, technical discipline that benefits from dedicated resource and specialist knowledge.
"When hygiene sits on everyone’s desk, it rarely receives the dedicated focus it deserves. We change that."
The One Hygiene Support was founded to bridge exactly this gap — providing the dedicated hygiene expertise your operation deserves, properly embedded, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
A complete hygiene function. Managed for you.
Four integrated service pillars, delivered as a single managed contract. Not a toolkit — a function.
Supervisor Development & Compliance Culture
We build a capable, technically-grounded owner of the hygiene function — embedded in your operation and supported throughout.
- Coaching and mentoring of your designated hygiene supervisor or manager
- Training records management — who trained on what and when
- Technical understanding of hygiene chemistry, audit standards, and accountability
- Compliance culture built, verified and validated through structured observation, coaching and documented performance review
Documentation & Compliance Systems
The full documentation infrastructure your site needs — tailored to your operation, built to audit standard.
- Cleaning Instruction Cards (CICs) for every zone and surface type and equipment
- Cleaning schedules appropriate to your production environment
- Risk assessments and compliance documentation
- Standardised cleaning and chemical sign-off sheets
- Dilution rates and storage compliance monitoring (optional add-on)
Ongoing Compliance Management
Weekly visits, monthly audits, independent reporting and KPI tracking — keeping your site consistently audit-ready throughout the year.
- Weekly factory floor walk — clean checks and post-clean inspections
- Weekly compliance check and supervisor 1-to-1s
- Monthly hygiene audit and written report
- Monthly board report
- Environmental swabbing carried out on behalf of client
Microbiological Expertise & Environmental Analysis
Specialist environmental microbiological expertise embedded in the service — focused on environmental swabbing and monitoring, providing structured analysis and practical guidance when findings arise.
- Environmental swab results reviewed and analysed with specialist expertise
- Structured root cause analysis and written report with practical recommendations
- Trending and reporting of non-conforming results over time
- Allergen cleaning validation where applicable (Extended package)
Built in the first six months. Maintained for the long term.
The contract is three years by design. The work is front-loaded so the value compounds over time.
We begin with a no-commitment site visit — no pitch, just a conversation about your operation and where the opportunities are. If there’s a fit, we agree the scope, sign the paperwork — NDA, SLA, contract — and set a start date. No prolonged sales process, no hidden small print, no surprises on day one. Just a clear agreement and a defined start.
Site Assessment & Structure Design
We visit the site, understand the operation, assess the current compliance position, and design the hygiene function structure appropriate to your specific environment, product, and audit requirements.
Build & Embed
We build the full documentation suite — CICs, schedules, risk assessments, sign-off sheets — develop your supervisor, and embed the systems and culture that make the function self-sustaining. This is the intensive phase — and the most valuable.
Managed Maintenance
Weekly visits, monthly audits, independent reporting, and ongoing supervisor development. Your compliance function runs proactively — consistently maintained and measurably effective throughout the year.
Adaptive Support
New production lines, facility changes, or process updates are scoped and quoted separately. Everything else is covered in the monthly contract. No surprises, no scope creep.
Clear boundaries. Honest reporting. No surprises.
We support your hygiene function as a collaborative partner — with defined scope, independent reporting, and a shared commitment to sustained standards.
Independent reporting
Our audit reports are factual and independent — providing an accurate, evidenced record of compliance performance that can support your position with a BRC auditor or EHO.
Full confidentiality
All account managers are bound by NDAs as a condition of engagement. Information obtained at your site is never shared with or referenced in any other client engagement.
Collaborative resource planning
We work collaboratively with your key stakeholders to identify the most efficient use of available resource, drawing on our expertise and assessment findings. Our data informs your decisions — and we support you in implementing them effectively.
Structured contract
Three-year management contract with a defined scope. Additional services available at an agreed day rate. Nothing open-ended, nothing ambiguous.
Microbiological expertise
We bring specialist environmental microbiological expertise to monitoring findings — providing structured analysis, practical guidance and clear recommendations that help your team understand and effectively address the underlying cause.
Embedded compliance culture
We work collaboratively with your team to build the structures and habits that sustain consistent hygiene standards as a natural part of daily operations — embedded, measurable, and maintained long term rather than driven by audit cycles.
