Yannis B.
Food Scientist | Food Quality Manager | Food Safety & Compliance
I help food businesses set up practical food safety systems, pass audits with confidence, and stay fully compliant with regulations. I’m a Food Technologist with hands-on experience inside a real production environment, not just theory. My background is in quality management, where I’ve worked directly with HACCP systems, certification processes, labeling, and day-to-day quality challenges on the factory floor. I’ve supported the preparation and implementation of food safety systems aligned with ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000, including audit readiness and documentation that actually works in practice, not just on paper. What makes my approach different is that I focus on solutions your team can realistically apply during production, not overly complex systems that slow you down. How I can support you: - HACCP plan development, review, and improvement - ISO 22000 / FSSC 22000 preparation and audit support - SOPs, GHP guidelines, and food safety documentation - Food safety gap assessments and corrective action plans - Label review and regulatory compliance support - Product development support (formulation, stability, documentation) My practical experience includes: - Managing and analyzing quality data within internal systems (e.g. ShinOS) - Supporting product certifications such as organic, V-Label, MSC/ASC, and similar schemes - Developing and updating GHP and hygiene guidelines - Defining quality parameters for raw materials (ingredients, packaging, chemicals) - Ensuring correct labeling and product declarations - Handling internal and external complaints and customer communication - Working closely with production and shift leaders to implement improvements - Conducting hygiene inspections and internal audits - Contributing to HACCP systems, including a supporting leadership role - Performing trend analysis based on quality KPIs - Maintaining and improving the quality management system - Supporting FSSC 22000 certification preparation and audits - Conducting internal trainings on food safety and quality topics - Performing food fraud risk assessments and managing inspection systems I understand both the technical requirements and the reality of running a food operation, which helps me deliver solutions that are compliant, efficient, and practical. If you’re looking for someone who can quickly understand your process and help you move forward without unnecessary complexity, feel free to reach out.
