THE BASIS FOR YOUR SUCCESS: SAFE FOODSTUFFS
No other branch of industry is as sensitive as the food industry. Producing or distributing food is not only a question of taste, but also a task of safety. And this is where it gets complex.
As a producer or supplier of food, you take responsibility, because everything a person takes in affects his or her body. You have to make sure that your products are healthy. Of course, you have to clearly identify and declare all ingredients. In short: you are only on the safe side, if you know the manufacturing process of your food products down to the smallest detail.
I support companies of all sizes in the production and distribution of safe food. With my expertise, producers, processors and distributors can focus on their competitiveness of their products. I take care of identifying and eliminating potential risks.
I make your food safe with the following services:
Your advantages
Simply better food
Productive safety through holistic mindset
Every food product is involved in a series of processes. There is a before and an after for each stage. The more complex the process chain, the more important it is to have defined responsibilities and precise descriptions of tasks. With my support, you will create clear structures and binding responsibilities. The result will be a win-win situation for everyone who is involved. Also for your company’s teams, because security creates motivation and scope.
More productivity and less complexity
The best processes are often the simplest. They are easier to control and adjust. There are also fewer errors. In fact, simplifying processes is often quite easy. However, this usually requires a change of perspective, which not all companies can bring about with their own resources. I can help you to make your processes simpler, your company more productive and your products safer. If, after our work together, you say “we could have come up with that ourselves”, then I will have reached my personal desired result.
The best quality sets the standard
Although processes are the same, results differ: This phenomenon often occurs in companies with several locations. It happens when important common standards for individual processes are missing. To solve this problem, I will first establish cross-site comparability of all processes. I then will show that even the smallest deviations have a major impact on the overall result. The following harmonisation of the processes will establish the rules of the game for all participants. The individual will results equalise, the overall result will improve significantly.
Controlled certainty for every product
Transparency is one of the most important selling points in food industry. As far as this feature is concerned, customers’ expectations have changed considerably in recent years. Because eating and drinking have long been part of a person’s lifestyle. With my support, you will bring quality-consistent products on the market. Regardless of whether the production and supply chain starts with you or not.

Quality management and assurance
Quality management is an important task and at the same time a great opportunity. Because it develops specific instructions from external and own requirements. Or in other words: companies obtain rules, responsibilities and processes with which they can optimise their services and products themselves. What better way is there to be successful on the market?
When it comes to food safety, I can guide your company to the best possible result in all relevant quality characteristics. I will help you to identify requirements and formulate goals. Furthermore, I will support you in identifying sources of error, in assessing production sites and in analysing raw materials and processing steps used. Together we will develop the basis for the successful introduction of a quality management system as well as for the implementation of customised quality management or HACCP concepts.
Process management
Are you sure that all the “well established” processes and procedures lead to the best possible result? With my support, your team’s processes will become visible. Finally, every single process will be delineated and described. The strengths and opportunities of your products will become just as clear as the potentials of your team. I will ask questions that almost automatically lead to the right answers and to a customised process management system with tangible optimisations. Not just for the moment, but sustainably.
Supplier management
Your influence on what other companies contribute to your result is limited. I will help you to systematically manage, improve and reorganise your relationships with your suppliers. Together, we will develop an objective supplier evaluation in order to derive effective measures. In the end, the disclosed facts decide whether a supplier may continue to supply as before, whether he can adapt to your required level of performance or whether only other business relationships can contribute to securing your quality. From creating evaluation parameters to selecting new suppliers, I will at your side – also on an international level.
Sustainability
Sustainability has become a buzzword – and even a trend. Companies in food industry are increasingly faced with the challenge of acting sustainably and responsibly. The Supply Chain Act raises these requirements especially the new vision from the EU-Commission. Retailers and manufacturers have to ask themselves how sustainable their products and their entire value chain are. I will support you in ensuring that you meet the expectations of consumers and seal providers. Additionally, I will help you to master the legal requirements of the desired sustainability labels. If you are not sure whether your suppliers can meet your sustainability requirements, I will check for you or work out an appropriate inspection plan with you.
Allergen management
Food intolerances and allergies are on the rise worldwide. Allergens present not only a major risk for consumers, but also for food industry. More than ever, functioning allergen management systems are needed to bring safe products on the market. This is the only way to include all critical areas of the entire supply chain.
As a founding member of the DAAB* Round Table and the Expert Committee of the Food Association, I am happy to offer you my expertise.
