FSCA History
2003; Ms. Shilpa Mistry started independent food safety consulting and training services to the food manufacturer in the Greater Toronto Area with the vision “to help food manufacturers in educating and training in safe food handling practices and meeting Health Canada and CFIA requirements.”
Within two years, the self-employed business was incorporated as “QUALITY FOOD SAFETY CONSULTING” (QFSC) in 2005 to meet increased demand of customers. Since then, the “QFSC” has been providing food safety and quality programs consulting, auditing, and training services for the government and private organizations within North America.
July 2020, the “Quality Food Safety Consulting” organization was restructured and rename as “FOOD SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE ALLIANCE” (FSCA) with the expanded vision of “SERVING THE WORLD BY CREATING AND SUSTAINING SAFER FOOD SUPPLY CHAIN FOR ALL OF US”.
“FSCA” continue to offer consulting services to our food supply chain clients in various food safety and quality programs such as HACCP, HARPC, PCP, BRCGS, SQF, FSSC 22000, FSVP, GFCP etc. to meet our customers and regulatory and customer requirements.
