What I Do

Full-spectrum food safety consulting

Each engagement is scoped to your operation and your timeline — not a template. Services span the full certification journey and ongoing compliance management.

I
SQF & GFSI Certification Support
End-to-end SQF certification preparation including gap analysis, programme review, internal audit, and on-site accompaniment during the certifying body audit. BRC experience applicable across GFSI schemes.
II
HACCP Plan Review & Update
Review and update of existing HACCP plans — hazard analysis, CCP identification, critical limits, monitoring procedures, corrective actions, and verification steps — against current regulatory and scheme requirements.
III
Compliance Programme Development
Design and formalisation of food safety management systems, prerequisite programmes, document control frameworks, and the policy architecture that underpins certification and regulatory compliance.
IV
Internal Audit & Readiness Assessment
Structured internal audits against SQF, BRC, or custom compliance frameworks. Non-conformance documentation, corrective action tracking, and a formal readiness sign-off before the certifying body engages.
V
Staff Training Delivery
On-site training across all scheme-required topics: GMP, HACCP Awareness, Personal Hygiene, Sanitation, Food Defense, Allergen Awareness, and Document Control — with signed attendance records for the audit file.
VI
Regulatory & Ongoing Advisory
Monthly retainer for continuous compliance access — FSMA updates, regulatory correspondence, pre-inspection preparation, annual recertification support, and process improvement guidance.

How I Work

The perspective your internal team can't replicate

Your internal compliance team knows your operation. I know what certifying body auditors look for — and where programmes that look complete on paper tend to fall short in practice. That gap is where most first attempts fail.

I bring a Master's in Food Safety, hands-on regulatory experience from a USDA-regulated facility, and multiple successful GFSI audits across BRC and SQF schemes. Engagements run hybrid — most programme and document work is handled remotely, with on-site visits timed to training, audits, and certification.
