Food Safety & Compliance
End-to-End Food Safety Support
Food safety isn’t just about compliance — it’s about protecting consumers, preserving product quality, and upholding the trust your brand relies on. At FHS Consulting, we support businesses across New Zealand to meet and exceed food safety standards with practical, hands-on guidance. We develop and implement Food Control Plans (FCPs) tailored to your operations, aligned with the Food Act 2014 and MPI requirements. Whether you’re setting up a new plan or reviewing an existing one, we ensure your processes stay effective and audit-ready.
We also offer Cleaning Verification & Environmental Swabbing, using microbial surface testing to verify your cleaning systems are working as intended. When issues are detected, we help you apply smart, targeted corrective actions that keep your hygiene programme on track.
Label Accuracy and Shelf-Life Confidence
Your label is your first impression — and your legal obligation. Our Labelling & Allergen Compliance service ensures ingredient lists, allergen statements, and nutritional panels are accurate and compliant with FSANZ and New Zealand labelling laws. We also review allergen risk controls to prevent cross-contamination and mislabelling.
We support Shelf-Life & Microbiological Testing, helping you determine safe shelf-life through lab analysis and sensory evaluations. We make sure your products meet microbiological limits and validation requirements — keeping quality high and risk low.
