Food
Selling food in the US means working under the FD&C Act and the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) 2011, overseen by the FDA (USDA regulates meat, poultry and eggs). FSMA shifted the focus to prevention - facility registration, Preventive Controls for Human Food (21 CFR Part 117), and traceability are now central requirements.
At Taylored Consultancy Ltd, we make food compliance clear and stress-free. We help you get facility registration, your food safety plan, labelling and claims right so you can sell with confidence.
Clearing the path to market -
regulatory and quality expertise that gets your food products safe, compliant, and ready for market.
Ingredients added directly to food must cause no harm under conditions of intended use. We can check your formulation for any potential blockers to market, such as ingredients that would require GRAS notifications or any additives with restrictions for use.
We review your Nutrition Facts panel and labelling against 21 CFR 101, including mandatory allergen declarations.
We make sure your labelling correctly declares all nine major allergens, including sesame, added under the FASTER Act.
We check your labelling and marketing claims against FDA requirements to keep them accurate and properly substantiated.
We help you align with HACCP, ISO 22000 or GFSI-recognised schemes (BRCGS, FSSC 22000, IFS) where retailers require them.
We help you register your facility with the FDA as required under FSMA, and keep your biennial renewal on track.
We help you build and document a Food Safety Plan with the hazard analysis and preventive controls FSMA requires.
Importing into the US? We help you build the supplier verification programme FSMA requires for foreign suppliers.
For foods on the FDA's Food Traceability List, we help you build the recordkeeping and traceability systems the rule requires.
Regulations can feel like a headache, but they don't have to be. We make sure you're covered, compliant, and ready to sell - without unnecessary delays or legal pitfalls.
