About Food Safety Groundwork

Decades of real-world experience behind practical food safety systems.

Our consulting approach is shaped by years spent building, managing, auditing, fixing, and maintaining food safety and quality programs inside operating food businesses—not just reviewing them from the outside.

The experience behind the advice

Built in food manufacturing. Applied through consulting.

Food Safety Groundwork brings broad experience across seafood, ready-to-eat foods, raw meat, poultry, dairy, bakery, snack foods, fresh processed vegetables, and other food manufacturing environments.

That experience includes responsibility for complete Food Safety & Quality Management Systems, HACCP and Food Safety Plans, GFSI certification programs, sanitation, environmental monitoring, internal auditing, regulatory compliance, corrective action, supplier programs, labeling, training, recalls, customer complaints, and day-to-day food safety decisions.

Our focus is simple: translate requirements into systems that make sense for the facility that has to use them.
