Vendor Audit Services for Food Businesses in India

In today’s fast-paced food industry, working with compliant and quality-driven vendors is essential to protect your brand and ensure regulatory alignment. A vendor audit evaluates the performance, hygiene standards, and compliance of your suppliers — from raw material providers to logistics partners.

At Equinox Labs, we conduct comprehensive audits that align with FSSAI and NABL requirements. Our evaluations help food business operators make informed decisions, avoid non-compliance risks, and improve supply chain efficiency.
