Acclivity Food Safety Consulting

Food Safety Consultant for small businesses serving Calgary and area (and western Canada).
I have 17 years of food safety and quality experience: 15 years in beverage manufacturing and 2 years with a national grocery chain's distribution centers. I graduated from SAIT as a chemical technologist and found my place in the brewing industry where I work in quality assurance. After a few years I was asked to implement a GFSI (BRCGS) food safety program. I successfully led that program for 10 years while also managing the QA department and QMS in 2 other satellite breweries. As the company grew its contract manufacturing division, the food safety program became more complex. I became well versed in contract manufacturing requirements, change management, new equipment programs, and learning resourceful ways to have full control in brewing and blending processes. As non-alc entered the industry, I gained valuable knowledge of pasteurization, and new risks. I have a hefty folder of food safety certificates in HACCP, vulnerability, BRCGS, and more. I moved on to work for a national grocery chain overseeing their food safety program in the distribution centers' for all of western Canada. I gained a strong understanding of food safety during transport and in warehouses. Since becoming a consultant 2 years ago, i have worked with more beverage companies as well as a small broth company. I look forward to helping small businesses of all types!
