When Our People Win, Our Partners Win
January 16, 2026
Food manufacturers aren’t always in a position to fully outsource sanitation. Many still run their own internal programs but need experienced SQF guidance to close gaps, prepare for audits, and improve day-to-day performance.
That’s exactly what Harrigan Sanitation Solutions’ SQF Program Support is designed to provide.
What is SQF Program Support?
Our SQF Program Support offers on-demand, fractional SQF expertise for food plants that need targeted help—without the cost or commitment of a full-time practitioner. This flexible service strengthens food safety systems, improves audit readiness, and addresses operational issues that impact compliance, cost, and performance.
It’s designed for facilities that aren’t ready for full sanitation outsourcing, plants with limited internal SQF resources, small and mid-sized processors needing expert guidance, and teams preparing for audits or working through recurring sanitation challenges.

- Audit-ready confidence: Strengthen documentation, consistency, and third-party audit outcomes
