Food safety that stands up to inspection

Our founder’s background includes quality roles at Kerry Ingredients and Space Jam Juice.

Food Safety Regulatory Support
Beverage manufacturers face a unique set of regulatory challenges that differ from solid food production. Whether you produce bottled water, juices, functional beverages, kombucha, dairy drinks, plant-based alternatives, or alcoholic products, your operation must meet specific FDA requirements covering ingredients, processing, packaging, and labeling.
The risks tied to microbial contamination, pH control, thermal processing, and ingredient sourcing make beverage safety compliance one of the most demanding areas of food regulation.
Startups and established producers alike benefit from working with a partner who understands both the science of beverage safety and the practical demands of running a production facility. We translate complex rules into clear action steps your team can follow without slowing down operations or driving up costs. From a single SKU to a full product portfolio, we tailor every engagement to your business goals.
If you’re launching a new beverage, expanding into new markets, or trying to resolve compliance gaps flagged during a recent inspection, our team can step in and provide the expertise you need to move forward with confidence.

Faqs
Frequently Asked Questions
These answers provide practical guidance, expert insights, and compliance clarity, enabling informed decision-making while preparing your organization for audits, inspections, and long-term regulatory success.
What does a food safety consultant do?
A food safety consultant helps you meet FDA and FSMA rules. That includes gap assessments, food safety plans, PCQI support, labeling, supplier programs and inspection readiness.
Is HACCP mandatory for my business?
FDA requires HACCP only for juice (Part 120) and seafood (Part 123). Most other food facilities need a Part 117 food safety plan instead, which works on similar principles.
What is the difference between HACCP and a Part 117 food safety plan?
HACCP relies on critical control points. A Part 117 plan uses a wider set of preventive controls, including process, allergen, sanitation and supply-chain controls.
What is a PCQI?
A Preventive Controls Qualified Individual prepares or oversees your food safety plan. They qualify through standardized training or job experience.
Does every food facility need a food safety plan?
Most registered facilities do. Qualified facilities (very small businesses) and some other categories follow modified requirements instead.
What is FSVP and who needs it?
The Foreign Supplier Verification Program applies to U.S. importers of food. The importer must verify that each foreign supplier meets U.S. safety standards.
What is the FSMA 204 traceability rule?
It requires extra records for foods on FDA’s Food Traceability List, such as leafy greens, eggs and soft cheeses. The compliance date is July 20, 2028.
Do food facilities have to register with FDA?
Yes. Food facilities register and renew every two years, between Oct 1 and Dec 31 of even-numbered years. 2026 is a renewal year.
What are the 9 major food allergens?
Milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans and sesame. Each must be declared on the label.
Does FDA regulate alcoholic beverages?
Mostly no. TTB regulates most beer, wine and spirits. FDA covers some products, such as wine under 7% alcohol and certain beers not made with malted barley.
Do I need a process authority for my beverage?
If your product is acidified or low-acid and shelf-stable, yes. It needs a scheduled process from a process authority and filing with FDA.
How do you prepare us for an FDA inspection?
We run a mock inspection, review your food safety plan and records, train staff on investigator interviews and fix gaps before FDA arrives.
Do you support small and startup food businesses?
Yes. We help startups pick the right rules from the start, including whether they qualify for modified requirements.
Can you write our recall plan?
Yes. Part 117 requires a written recall plan for foods with a hazard requiring a preventive control. We write and test it with a mock recall.
Do you review Nutrition Facts panels?
Yes. We check format, serving sizes, nutrient values, claims and allergen declarations.
What happens if FDA finds problems?
FDA may issue a Form 483, a Warning Letter, an import alert or request a recall. Facility registration can be suspended in serious cases.
How much do food safety consulting services cost?
It depends on your products, facility and existing programs. We give a fixed-fee quote after a free consultation.It depends on your products, facility and existing programs. We give a fixed-fee quote after a free consultation.
How long does a food safety plan take to build?
