Carl became our food and hygiene consultant in 2021, due to us struggling to pass our SALSA audit. Since Carl became our consultant, not only do we have better systems and a better paperwork structure in place, SALSA too have noticed with them emailing us to say what an excellent improvement they have seen over the past 3 years. This could not have achieved without Carl’s guidance and assistance.

I met Carl Challenger not long after we launched Moons Green Charcuterie. Working in the modern food industry it is almost impossible for me to conceive of life without Carl. He is not just the guardian of our hygiene standards but he created them all - designing production systems, creating our HACCPS, constantly monitoring our performance especially with his surprise audits, checking paper trails, looking at the consequences of new equipment, rewriting systems for new products, liasing with oversight authorities. He is, quite simply, an indispensable asset.

​

Working with him is always rewarding. They know and track all new legislation. They don’t see their role as simply eliminating risk but more as a function that enables us to make the best possible products safely. If you’re constructing a new plant his involvement is essential. He’ll have ideas that invariably make sense. Oh, and he manages very successfully to translate complex chemistry into simple English. Very useful.

"Carl came on board to help us navigate through the daunting process of SALSA accreditation and generally overhaul our food hygiene/quality systems. Within a year under Carl's expert advice and guidance we had SALSA in the bag and our previously outdated systems are now something we can be proud of."
