Who is the Lead Consultant Expert?

FoodReady’s consulting program in Georgia is led by Dave Seddon, Chief Food Safety Officer. Dave has audited more than 500 manufacturers for SQF and GMP certification and was recognized as a finalist for SQF Auditor of the Year. His experience gives Georgia food businesses an advantage because he understands exactly how auditors evaluate hazard analysis, documentation, and preventive controls. With Dave’s leadership, our Food Safety Consultants in Georgia design HACCP plans, SOPs, and recordkeeping systems that match certification standards while remaining manageable for operators. The focus is on programs your staff can actually run without unnecessary paperwork.
