  • Food labeling, FDA compliance and regulations;
  • Formulation and food R&D;

Here are a few specific examples of food consulting:

  • For an insurance carrier, CECON sent a consultant to a Latin American country to inspect a damaged freighter cargo of food and determine the extent of loss.
  • For a venture firm, a CECON consultant assisted in formulation and refinement of a new food product.
  • In a major food product recall lawsuit, a CECON consultant gave expert testimony on the fitness for the food use.
  • An ex FDA consultant worked to reclassify gains slightly affected by hurricane Katrina to a higher value use.
