We're the AI team that actually knows food safety

IONI builds AI systems that automate food safety compliance — for manufacturers, co-packers, brands, and ingredient suppliers in any regulated market. We're based in Burnaby, BC, incorporated as IONI AI INC. (BC1556617).

Our Mission

The Execution Gap

Most compliance failures aren't failures of knowledge. The QA manager knows what needs to happen. The HACCP plan exists. The procedures are written. What breaks down is the daily execution — the log that didn't get filled in, the COA that expired in someone's inbox, the CAPA that never got a root cause because there wasn't time.

The Paperwork Runs Itself

We built IONI to handle that execution layer. The AI reads your documents, builds your compliance system, and keeps it running. Your team does the work that requires human judgment. The paperwork runs itself.

What We Do

AI Food Safety

Reads your SOPs and HACCP documents, builds your compliance system, and keeps it audit-ready under SQF, BRCGS, FSMA, CFIA, and FSSC 22000.

Operator Floor Digitalization

Replaces paper logs with digital checklists on tablets and phones. Operators complete checks in real time. QA sees deviations instantly — no end-of-shift catch-up.

Ingredients Intelligence

Tracks supplier COAs, matches incoming values against your specs, and flags out-of-spec ingredients before they reach production.

AI Internal Audit & Gap Analysis

Reviews your full compliance system against your certification standard and flags gaps before your auditor does.

Custom Integrations

For teams that need AI compliance systems built around their existing infrastructure — ERP connections, custom workflows, or sector-specific regulatory frameworks beyond food manufacturing.

Our Story

Foundation

We began as a custom software development firm, building reliable digital systems used by teams operating in regulated and process-driven industries.

Regulatory Compliance AI

We shifted our core focus to Food Safety Compliance and Regulatory Intelligence, building AI tools that help teams monitor requirements, reduce risks, and keep documentation audit-ready.

Why IONI

AI that understands food safety — not just documents

IONI isn't a generic document AI pointed at compliance. The system is trained on food safety standards — SQF Edition 9 and 10, BRCGS Issue 9, FSMA Preventive Controls, CFIA SFCR, Codex HACCP principles. It knows what a CCP is, what a critical limit requires, and what an auditor checks first.

Food safety professionals on the team — not just engineers

Every new client onboards with our expert. Certified food safety consultants — SQF practitioners, BRCGS specialists, FSMA experts — are available through IONI at no extra charge.

Setup measured in days, not implementation cycles

Upload your documents. We configure the system on a 30-minute call using your actual SOPs and HACCP files. No consultant engagement, no months of data entry, no IT project.

When your process changes, the binder doesn't. IONI keeps your plan connected to your actual operations — update a step, the CCPs and SOPs update with it.

Pricing visible before you talk to us

Starts at $199/month. No "contact us for pricing." No discovery call required to find out if you can afford it.
