From idea to shelf

Complete expert support for developing and launching a food product.

You have an idea for a new food product, but you do not know where to start?

Food Compass guides you through the whole process — from the initial idea and product development, through regulatory compliance and establishing a food safety system, to correct labelling and preparing the product for the market.

You do not have to connect regulatory, food safety, documentation and labelling requirements yourself. We connect every step into one whole.

  • assessment of the premises and processes
  • defining hygiene and other prerequisites
  • hazard identification and assessment
  • analysis of biological, chemical and physical/mechanical hazards
  • establishing the HACCP system and required documentation
  • establishing traceability
  • staff training
  • support in system digitalization

Labelling and a final conformity check

Before placing the product on the market we check that the product and its label meet the relevant requirements.

  • planning the required laboratory analyses
  • drafting and checking the label
  • correct allergen labelling
  • nutrition labelling
  • checking conformity of the product and documentation
  • support in preparing for inspections and audits
