With over 30 years’ experience, our team of Food Safety consultants have the technical know-how and expertise to provide a wide range of compliance advice and solutions. We work in partnership with businesses to help them be best in class when it comes to achieving five star Food Safety practice standards.

We put an emphasis on practical support and guidance tailored to your business, to help protect your employees, your customers, and yourself.

So, what does our Technical Service include?

It is mandatory to label all pre-packed food for direct sale (PPDS) with a full list of ingredients and any of the 14 allergens emphasised in order to comply with UK food allergen legislation:

• Our expert consultants will work with you to make sure your labels are accurate and meet the legal standards no matter how complex (or simple) your recipe.
• If it’s regulatory advice you need, then our experts are also here to help with either specific or general labelling issues – whether it’s new products in development right through to on-shelf products.

The information you feature on your menus – whether printed or online – is critical and can even be a matter of life or death.  Our Food Safety consultants will check your menus to make sure they feature the correct allergen declarations are not misleading for consumers.

Making sure all your specifications are watertight and to gold standard is a time consuming task – especially if it’s not your area of expertise.  That’s where we can help.  Using a range of web-based systems our team of Food Safety experts can write, proof read and validate your specifications meet your brand standards and policies.

When it comes to packaging design, it’s not just about consumer appeal but labelling is a key component and mustn’t be overlooked.  To avoid any expensive design mistakes or delays, our team are on hand to create and / or approve pack copy that is legally compliant and contains all the mandatory information required on a label including:

• Product name
• Weight
• Nutrition
• Storage

Is your supply chain meeting your specifications and standards? We can carry out your supplier assurance programme on your behalf, freeing up valuable time.  This would include:

• Approval of new suppliers through desktop audits
• Supplier certification checks
• Supplier audits

To be compliant, many food manufacturers and suppliers are required to achieve BRCGS certification set against the relevant standard: Global Food Standard, Agents & Brokers, Storage & Distribution and Packaging Standards.  If you are looking to start BRCGS certification, or are already in the process, then we can help you achieve success through our expert consultancy and auditing service.
