Food-Safety Education • Non-USDA Consultation
Food-Safety Education that Builds Foundational Systems
We help non- and pre-regulated food operations build the skills and literacy to stand up sound programs—evidence-based instruction on hazard analysis, documentation, and risk understanding using publicly available information.
For non-USDA food service teams who want clear steps, fewer gaps, and audit-ready records.
For USDA-regulated plants: education & program literacy only — no regulatory advisory or representation.
Consultation services are available for non-USDA-regulated operations (restaurants, retail/commissary, caterers, food trucks).
