Webinar Description

Most food companies underestimate the true cost of certification. The invoice from the certification body accounts for roughly 18% of the total cost; the other 82% is hidden in QA hours, audit preparation and administrative overhead that often goes unbudgeted.


In this webinar, we’ll break down where those hidden costs sit, reveal three strategies that can reduce them by 30–45%, and show you how to build a stronger budget case for food safety and quality with your CFO.


The webinar is based on insights from a whitepaper by Alexander Platteeuw, a food safety coach with 25 years of industry experience, drawing on data from more than 1,000 GFSI audits.

Webinar Presenter

Speaker Bio:
Alexander Platteeuw is a food safety consultant, trainer and coach with more than 25 years of experience in the food industry. He has seen certification from every angle: as a QA manager on the food factory floor, as a third-party auditor (he performed over 500 GFSI audits), and as founder of Certables (a previous online platform for certification management). Today he runs A+ Quality, helping food producers, logistics providers, co-packers, retailers and packaging manufacturers build GFSI-recognised management systems that actually work in practice, with knowledge sharing as a key focus point, and he serves as board advisor to AuditQ, the European startup food safety compliance platform.


He shares that experience openly: through his open communication platform for QA managers called Foodsafety.academy, his blogs, and his podcast show Better FoodSafe Than Sorry, where he speaks with food safety professionals about where food safety management is heading, and of course during this webinar, where he will share his experience on the finance behind food safety management.
