Superior Food Safety to Unveil New Food Safety Consulting and Quality Franchise Opportunity at SQF Conference in Orlando


Simple business plan and opportunity will be presented
for the first time at the conference November 7-9th.
We will be exibiting at Booth #41.

PRESS RELEASE: Napa, CA, October 17, 2022 – Superior Food Safety (SFS), a leading California food safety consultancy, has created a new franchise model for Food Safety and Quality Professionals seeking a successful business model that doesn’t need to be created from scratch. SFS will be premiering this new concept at the Safe Quality Food Institute Conference in Orlando, FL, November 7-9th @ Booth #41.

With the rise in consumer awareness of food safety and increased regulation at the state, federal, and international levels, the need for food safety consultants is higher than ever. SFS has created a franchise model that will allow Food Safety Professionals to start and successfully run a food safety consultancy without the pain and hassle of having to develop a business model.

“So often, I meet people like myself, food safety pros, who would love to start their own businesses,” said Oscar Camacho, President of Superior Food Safety. “Honestly, it was exciting for me, even though I was walking away from a steady paycheck, to go out on my own. After all these years, we created the SFS Franchise Program with a clear roadmap and business that is ready to go. Franchisees who join our brand won’t have to figure it all out on their own. We are here to help them every step of the way.”

Statistically, franchises are 70% more likely to survive and be successful than independent businesses. This is simply because the business model is already tested and proven.

The SFS Franchise Program applies the franchise business model and integrates food quality and safety consulting, outsourced support, training, and auditing services.

It’s designed for food safety professionals looking for financial independence and the flexibility that comes with being a business owner. Owners can set their own salaries, decide their own hours, and have pride in the business they’ve created.

Others have already started their solo businesses but find themselves overwhelmed with everything that goes into a successful consultancy, like marketing, bookkeeping, and business structure.

The SFS-proven food safety consulting franchise business model gives business owners the tools to get their consulting business up and running quickly and efficiently, so they can concentrate on what matters most: growing a client base and fulfilling their passion.

“The demand for food safety consulting and training services is projected to keep growing in the years to come,” Camacho said. “Food service companies, distributors, wholesalers, and retailers all need professional food safety experts to advise them on best practices to prevent compromised food incidents that can lead to lawsuits and loss of reputation. The SFS Franchise Program is an opportunity to embrace your dreams of being a business owner without all the trial and error that goes into trying to create something from scratch.”

Interested parties can learn more at Superior Food Safety Franchise Opportunities.

About Superior Food Safety

Superior Food Safety is using its combined 50+ years in the industry to introduce the first food safety consulting franchise business model in the US. Tackling the increasing demand for easy-to-implement food safety programs, processes, and training, its impact will positively improve food safety and quality across the USA.

Food Safety 101: How to Protect Yourself Against Foodborne Illness

What Is Foodborne Illness?

Foodborne illness, also known as food poisoning, is a general category of sickness caused by bacterial or viral contamination of food. Culprits of food poisoning include:

Escherichia coli or E. coli
Many strains of E. coli are harmless, though certain strains, which may enter the body through contaminated water or food, can cause diarrhea, urinary tract infections, respiratory illness and other illnesses.

Norovirus
The most common foodborne illness, norovirus can come from consuming food or drink infected with the virus, though it can also be spread easily from person to person. Symptoms of norovirus include vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps and mild fever.

Salmonella
This bacteria lives in the intestines of mammals. People typically come in contact with it by eating food that has been contaminated by animal feces. Symptoms of a salmonella infection include vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal cramps.

Listeria
While listeriosis is not very common in the United States, it's the leading cause of death among foodborne illnesses. Mild cases include GI distress, which resolves on its own.

However, Gisela Bouvier, a registered dietitian nutritionist and owner of the Southwest Florida-based Gisela Bouvier Nutrition, explains it can also get much more serious. “When the disease is invasive, it can invade beyond the gut, including the blood or brain, which can cause meningitis, miscarriage in pregnant women or other fatalities.”
