We investigate recurring food safety and quality problems, verify suppliers through independent second-party audits, and connect the fix to what it's actually costing on the line — waste, downtime, rework, and output.
We treat quality and production cost as the same question, because on a factory floor, they are. Every corrective programme we design is built around what the problem is actually costing your output — not just what it takes to pass the next audit.
A non-conformity is easy to identify. The harder part is understanding why it happened and making sure it doesn't happen again. We investigate recurring contamination, allergen failures, cleaning breakdowns and customer complaints, and build corrective action that actually closes the loop — not just documents it.
Independent, on-site audits of your suppliers and co-packers — commissioned by you, run against your specification. New supplier qualification, ongoing vendor monitoring, and supply-chain risk mapping.
Independent IPM expertise — we evaluate the effectiveness of your pest management system, we don't sell pest control. Programme design, root-cause investigation, and verification.
Quality problems are production problems: rework, downtime, yield loss, rejected batches. We put a number on what poor quality is costing your output, and build the improvement plan around it.

Foodteq Consulting is an independent food manufacturing consultancy. We help food businesses investigate recurring food safety and quality problems, verify their suppliers through second-party audits, and connect the fix to production performance — waste, downtime, rework and output, not just the finding on a report.
We work on-site or virtually across the UK, Europe and internationally, supporting HACCP development, BRC/IFS/ISO 22000 audit preparation, and integrated pest management alongside our root-cause and performance work. We also provide crisis advisory support when contamination events or product recalls require an immediate, experienced response.
Every engagement — on-site or virtual — is handled at senior level, with no delegation to junior staff. Pricing is transparent, presented in the currency relevant to your market, and confirmed in full before work begins.
