Nutritional Auditing, Labeling & Allergens

Nutritional Consultancy as a strategic driver for Food Service

Consumer dietary needs are driving a new agenda for corporates in food manufacture and food service. The demand for allergen-free and free-from foods continues to grow and with it, the need for clearer labeling both on-pack and at point of purchase. This calls for clearer nutritional strategy and diligent workflows to answer legal and consumer requirements. With nutrition so high on the social agenda, and with increasing rates of obesity and chronic illness driving the conversation, I support clients to establish nutrition as a key driver for the growth of their business.

I offer strategic Nutritional Consultancy for clients within food service & related catering industries. Services include nutritional strategy, product and menu auditing, allergen declarations, staff training, consumer communications, nutrition content and marketing support.
