How HC Foods transformed their compliance operations

HC Foods

Food importer • 50+ product families • Multiple Asian suppliers

The Challenge

HC Foods imports a diverse portfolio of Asian food products into the US market. With dozens of suppliers across multiple countries and a growing product catalog, managing FSVP compliance had become a full-time job. Their team was buried in spreadsheets, chasing expiring documents, and spending weeks preparing for FDA inspections.

“We were spending 20+ hours a week just on compliance paperwork. Every supplier had a different folder structure, every product had a different spreadsheet. When FDA came for an inspection, we needed three people working for a week to pull everything together.”

— Compliance Manager, HC Foods

The Solution

HC Foods switched to Aleph and consolidated their entire compliance operation into a single platform. The results were immediate.

20 hrs
per week saved on admin
3 min
to pull FDA-ready records
100%
of suppliers on one platform

What Changed

  • All 50+ product families and their suppliers organized in structured profiles
  • Guided hazard analysis replaced ad-hoc spreadsheet templates
  • Automatic reminders eliminated missed re-evaluation deadlines
  • Document management replaced shared drives and email attachments
  • FDA inspection prep went from 1 week to a single button click
  • New product onboarding reduced from 2 weeks to 2 days

“The ROI was obvious within the first month. We cancelled our compliance consultant contract and our team actually has time to focus on growing the business instead of managing paperwork. That’s why we recommend Aleph to every importer we work with.”

— Director of Operations, HC Foods
