Business overview
As the Managing Director of Food Compliance NZ (FCNZ), I lead an ISO/IEC 17020-accredited inspection and verification agency dedicated to integrity, transparency, and excellence in food safety compliance. At FCNZ, we deliver impartial, independent services that help food operators across New Zealand understand and meet their regulatory obligations under the Food Act 2014. More than a verification body, we see ourselves as educators and collaborators, working alongside councils, other agencies, and independent verifiers to streamline processes, reduce compliance costs, and build consistency across regions. Guided by strong ethical principles and a people-centred approach, we’re redefining compliance as a shared commitment to trust, quality, and sustainable success within New Zealand’s food sector.Products and services I offer
At Food Compliance NZ (FCNZ), we provide accredited, independent inspection and verification services across a broad range of food business types operating under the Food Act 2014. We are recognised to verify all risk-based measures (Custom Food Control Plan, My Food Plan, Generic National Programme, MPI approved Template Food Control Plan) and recognised to evaluate customised food control plans and the MPI approved My Food Plan. Why I'm in the NZ Businesswomen
Food Compliance NZ (FCNZ) is a newly established verification agency, launched in November 2024. Since our launch, we have transitioned from an employee-based model to a network of independent professional contractors, creating a more agile and regionally connected business structure. Our ISO/IEC 17020 accreditation provides a platform for qualified individuals to be recognised under the FCNZ system, enabling them to build and manage their own client base with full technical, administrative, and compliance support.Testimonials

If you find this feedback useful please publish it for future customers".

Through collaboration, shared systems, and a commitment to consistency, FCNZ is reshaping how food safety verification is delivered nationwide.My latest business news
