“Bart at BD Food Safety Consultants was a game-changer for our small family-owned business. We had zero experience with SQF audits, and Bart’s expert guidance made the process stress-free and efficient. His tailored plan and clear explanations kept us on track, and his unwavering support boosted our confidence. Under Bart’s patient and meticulous guidance, we not only navigated the audit seamlessly but also achieved an impressive score. This success goes beyond just passing; Bart instilled a deep understanding of SQF principles that will continue to safeguard our company’s quality and commitment to food safety. If you’re looking for a reliable, knowledgeable partner to navigate the SQF world, BD Food Safety Consultants are the experts you need”.
