Introduction

FoodSafe is on a mission to revolutionize compliance for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the food and beverage industry. Our story begins with our founder, Paddy.

Personal Background

Before founding FoodSafe, Paddy launched a small kombucha business called PJ Kombucha in 2016. Through his dedication, PJ Kombucha was acquired by a local UK brewery in 2020, leading to the rebranding and launch of Pure Booch Kombucha.

During this exciting phase, Paddy and his new team began reaching out to grocers and large potential clients. This journey led him to seek SALSA certification, where he uncovered a significant gap in the market for user-friendly compliance solutions tailored to food and drink SMEs.

The Inspiration

The idea for FoodSafe was born out of necessity. Paddy's quest for SALSA Certification had him drowning in paperwork, lost in endless Excel sheets, and navigating through hundreds of folders.

Searching for software to streamline this process, he found existing options were either too expensive, lacked essential features, or were overly complicated despite claiming simplicity. Realizing a need for a more accessible solution, Paddy set out to create FoodSafe, envisioning an intuitive, affordable, and comprehensive compliance tool.

The Journey

In the early days, Paddy began building what would become the FoodSafe prototype. Initially, he developed this limited prototype for his own business to maintain SALSA compliance.

And this journey was not without its challenges. Not being tech-savvy, Paddy had to quickly learn how to build an app that would allow him to record key data simply and easily. Through sheer perseverance and determination, the prototype was completed and it didn't just work; it was a breakthrough, propelling Pure Booch to SALSA certification and sparking the vision to help others simplify their compliance journey.

Company Growth

FoodSafe is still in the early stages of its journey, but the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Before we even launched, 150 businesses signed up to be onboarded to the platform. Now, we are onboarding new businesses every day, growing our community of compliance-focused enterprises.

Mission and Values

At FoodSafe, our mission is to provide an accessible, intuitive, and comprehensive compliance solution for SMEs in the food and beverage industry. We are driven by our core values of innovation, integrity, user-centricity, and continuous improvement. Our aim is to empower businesses to achieve and maintain the highest standards of food safety with ease, without breaking the bank.

Future Goals

Our goal is to grow our platform by actively listening to member feedback and continually adding new features to enhance the user experience. We are committed to making FoodSafe better all the time, ensuring it evolves to meet the changing needs of our users.
