What's Inside

The Small Food Business Food Safety Starter Kit.

Most small food businesses find out what they're missing at the worst possible moment  during a customer complaint, a buyer conversation, or a retailer audit. This kit helps you get ahead of it. Two pages. No fluff. Built for founders who are doing everything at once.

What you're downloading: 

  • Your Food Safety Growth Path: Know which regulatory tier you're in (Cottage, FDA/USDA, or GFSI) and exactly what triggers the move to the next level.
  • Food Safety Program Checklist: 24 programs every food manufacturer needs. Check what you have. Be honest about what you don't. Start there.
  • Plain-language regulatory orientation: FSMA, HACCP, GFSI, SQF. What the acronyms mean, when they apply, and what training you actually need.
