Hi everyone,

It’s been a while since I last started a topic here, but I’ve been working on a few projects lately that got me thinking…

As food safety consultants, we all pick up little tricks over the years—whether it’s a shortcut that saves hours on documentation, a smart way to prepare for audits, or even a tool that makes client communication smoother.

So I’d love to hear from you: what’s your smartest food safety hack that you think every consultant should know?

I’ll start—recently I began using a simple digital checklist app for site visits. It’s cut my report writing time in half and helped me catch small details I might have missed otherwise.

Looking forward to picking up some great tips from this amazing community!

I have no hacks, apart from to listen.  Listen to what is being said and what isn't.  Ideally from operators as well. The people who aren't on their best behaviour. 

 

Unfortunately in the UK there is a highly performative element to the food industry (I think) borne out of so many audits.  There's no point my being there if I'm talking to someone who is just spouting BS.  So I talk with the people who really know what is going on and, most importantly, listen.
