Sandra and Magda recently teamed up for a client visit in Vauxhall, AB!
One of the benefits of working as a team is being able to support tight timelines while also bringing together different areas of expertise. Everyone brings their own experience and strengths, which helps us better support our clients. ๐
This was Magda's first visit to Vauxhall, and she mentioned how much she learned from spending time on-site with Sandra.
Vauxhall is known as the Potato Capital of the West, so it was only fitting that a pair of famous potatoes greeted them on arrival. ๐ฅ

Need help getting your food labels ready for market?
Canadian food labelling requirements can be detailed and sometimes tricky to navigate. From ingredient lists and allergen declarations to nutrition facts tables, bilingual requirements, claims, and formatting, there are lots of details to get right.
Our Label Artwork Compliance Reviews help identify potential issues before your product reaches the shelves, giving you greater confidence that your labels meet regulatory requirements.
Whether you're launching a new product or updating an existing label, we're here to help. Learn more on our website: https://foodsafetysolutions.ca/labels

Success starts with the right support. ๐
We recently had the opportunity to work with Trafford Farms, an indoor producer of microgreens, leafy greens, and mushrooms, to help them prepare for a GFSI benchmarked primary production food safety audit. With a turnaround of less than 30 days, our team worked closely with them to provide the guidance and support they needed within their required timeframe.
Here's what Paul Shumlich, Director and Food Safety Officer at Trafford Farms, had to say about working with Food Safety Solutions. ๐

Many food businesses focus on product development, packaging, and sales in the early stages. But food safety planning is just as important!
Waiting until a retailer, distributor, or regulator asks for documentation can lead to rushed timelines, unexpected costs, and added stress. Building food safety into your budget and business plan from the beginning can help set your business up for long-term success.
