Consulting & Record-Keeping Solutions

Get certified, keep it that way, and keep your records in order

I've worked in certification in Canada since 2012, and certification is what I know. I know what your certifier is looking for.

I can help you get past the obstacles to becoming certified, and develop corrective action plans that keep your certification on track.

  • Getting ready for your first certification
  • Corrective action plans for your certifier
  • Help after a suspension or Notice of Non-Compliance
  • Building a CanadaGAP food safety program
  • Record-keeping solutions: setting up and maintaining records that are ready for every inspection
  • Internal audits to pinpoint shortfalls before your annual audit
