Welcome to Stauffer Food Consulting

I help food manufacturing companies, co-manufacturers, and international distributors safeguard their operations, pass rigorous audits, and fast-track products to market without costly regulatory delays.

Located in Belgrade, MT, I operate as a Director-turned-Consultant, bridging the gap between technical, science-based regulations and practical plant floor operations. Having successfully overseen food safety programs for domestic and international manufacturers and distributors (including US, Mexico, South Korea, UAE, and the EU), I understand how to design compliance frameworks that protect consumers while maximizing operational efficiency.

My independent consulting practice provides targeted project-based support and contract services specializing in:
🔹 High-Risk Ready-to-Eat (RTE) Compliance: Designing and executing comprehensive environmental monitoring and pathogen mitigation programs for high-risk manufacturing environments.
🔹 Regulatory Label Expediting: Providing technical, swift verification of nutritional content and artwork compliance to accelerate commercialization under FDA and USDA standards.
🔹 Supply Chain & Supplier Risk Management: Building robust Foreign Supplier Verification Programs (FSVP) and conducting rigorous risk analyses aligned with Food Fraud Mitigation Strategies.
🔹 Quality Management Systems (QMS): Upgrading and deploying QMS frameworks compliant with ISO 9001, SQF, and HACCP standards to ensure total plant audit readiness.

Whether your facility requires an independent third-party auditor, urgent support to clear a product labeling backlog, or fractional leadership during an operational transition, I deliver objective, rapid, and executive-level solutions.

💼 Availability: Open to select independent consulting contracts, fractional roles, and project-based advisory agreements globally (Remote / Hybrid / On-Site).
