Expert Consulting Services: Your On-Call Food Safety Partner

• Food Safety Plan Development (HACCP & FSMA)

  A food safety plan is the backbone of your operation. We specialize in creating robust, compliant, and easy-to-manage food safety systems. We don't just hand you a binder; we work alongside your team to develop a living system that is tailored to your facility, products, and personnel. This includes HACCP plans and FSMA-compliant Food Safety Plans with Preventive Controls for Human Food (PCHF)

• Process Validation

  Do you have the scientific data to prove your cooking, cooling, or acidification step is effective? We can help you design and execute the studies needed to scientifically validate your critical control points. The resulting report provides the official documentation you need to satisfy regulators and auditors.

A well-trained team is your single most important food safety asset. We offer FDA-recognized, certified courses led by experienced instructors who are skilled at making complex topics understandable and engaging. We offer courses at NMSU or can bring a customized training directly to your facility.
