Testimonials:

"Thanks, Mike, we really appreciate that. Thanks to you we are now a Certified Plant producing safe food. Good job." - Myles Hamilton, Vice President Spitz International Inc. Bow Island, AB

"We were required to have a Certified GMP/HACCP PLan for one of our really big customers. Mike had performed a GAP analysis for us and we asked him to write a GMP Manual, work on our forms and write our SSOPs and SOPs. He trained the entire staff in HACCP and also trained our in-house HACCP Coordinator. It took a while as we changed the plant around, but Mike go the job done and when he said we were ready, he arranged for a third party auditor from NSF/ISR to perform the 2-day certification audit. We passed with only two minor corrective actions to close out. We are really happy with Mike's performance, he certainly put in a lot of work". Dave Shields, Production Manager, Spitz International Inc. Bow Island, AB

"Our business has really picked up since you prepared our GMP HACCP Plan and arranged for the successful third party audit by SGS Canada Inc".  Tim Baer, Manager, New Rosedale Colony
