I recently used the services of Quality Safety Audits in Platte County, MO, and I'm very impressed with their professionalism and efficiency. They made sure that our food products were safe and compliant with all regulations. Highly recommended!

"I put a lot of time and money into getting ready to open my new restaurant, that I could not afford to fail my pre-opening inspection. Although I have owned numerous restaurants, I just did not want to take any chances. Time is money and who knows when the inspector would have time to come back. I was referred to this company, Quality Safety Audits LLC, by Mr. Gates. He spoke highly of them, so I didn’t hesitate to call. Long story short, I couldn’t have made a better decision. Not only was he punctual, he was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and answered all of my questions and concerns, plus additional things I definitely hadn’t thought of. Thanks to them, my Pre-opening inspection was perfect and I didn’t have one deficiency. Thanks A Million, QSA"
