Our History

Sandra Fulton founded the company in 1998 following a successful career with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) as a federal food inspector and finishing her career as a Program Specialist, Blueprints, Plants and Equipment for the Ontario Region. During her career Sandra worked in inspection, auditing, training and licensing, (evaluating plans and specifications) for new establishments. In the later years Sandra was a trainer for inspection staff on regulations, food processes, controls and validations, and a specialist in plant design and specifications for the industry and inspection staff of Ontario.

FFS was founded with a vision, direction and dedication to assist the food industry in maintaining compliance with food regulations, and to work with operators to develop and maintain their food safety and quality management systems.

Since that time FFS has grown to include a diverse team of experts with extensive experience, knowledge and backgrounds in food regulations, food processing techniques, food law, food safety and quality (HACCP-based) systems and food plant designs.
