Food Safety/Certification

Food Safety Certification is a key part of QSG’s consulting and training practice. We bring a unique perspective to food safety by combining extensive practical hands-on experience with a clear understanding of the business imperatives that are crucial to your success. We provide these services to growers, processors/manufacturers, food service operators, retailers, and distributors.

QSG’s goal is to provide expertise in food safety consulting and food quality training on a national and international basis. We achieve this goal by offering consulting and training programs. We are experienced with products such as bakery & cereals, beverages, deli, dairy, fats & oils, flavors, meat & poultry, prepared foods, produce, seafood and snacks, spices & condiments.

One of the keys to success in the food business is to understand and carefully select your sources of food and food packaging. Both buyers and suppliers need fully documented and implemented systems for food safety management.
