"SCS Food Safety Consulting did a wonderful job helping us create all the procedures and explaining how to put these procedures into practice. The team helped us create all the forms we needed to maintain our records to comply with the regulations. They put in all the effort and more to complete this project successfully."

Angie Cerrato | PA Growers

"SCS Food Safety Consulting helped us build a food safety program that we are happy, comfortable, and confident with. Heena was great to work with and a very great instructor. We liked the way she taught us and shared her knowledge. We look forward to working with the team in the future."

Heather Le | AVI Entrust Corp.

"When you need a food safety plan done right, you need to call SCS Consulting Services. We contacted SCS Consulting Services with an aggressive timeline to help us establish a food safety plan and prepare for a GMP audit within 2 months. Heena's professionalism shone through at each step, and she was always optimistic and supportive. We felt that we were on solid ground with Heena in our corner, especially given how detail-oriented she was with the content of each document she drafted. Heena prepared us extremely well for our audit, and when the big day came, we had no problems passing the audit. The best thing we did for our GMP audit was to call Heena first."

Joey Tran | General Counsel & Co-Founder, Francium Chocolate, Inc.

"Heena was very helpful in creating, updating, and reviewing our quality program. She dedicated a lot of time to us, and all our hard work was validated by achieving an excellent audit score. We feel prepared to maintain our quality systems for the next audit. It was a pleasure working with the SCS Food Safety Consulting Team."
