Testimonials
Guytons Fisheries Ltd
“Helen McDonald from Food Linkz Ltd completed a review of our food control plan, as over the years the scope of our operation had changed. The review process resulted in the removal of any outdated information and the updating of our food control plan to reflect our current business activities.
Helen was excellent to work with. She offered advice and guidance in all areas of food compliance and registration. Helen helped develop a uniquely tailored food control plan. This included new processing procedures and supporting documentation. Her consultancy included onsite training and coaching of our staff. Helen offers an excellent service. I would highly recommend to anyone who needs both new and existing food safety compliance work done.”

Sujon
“Helen was responsible for implementing a more formal quality system for our processing operations. This lead us to gaining international certification for our HACCP quality systems. We are proud that the high standard of Helen’s work in our HACCP systems was recognised by health officers who used our manuals as part of their training systems. Our accreditation is thought to have been the first for a berry fruit processor in Australasia at that time.
We still actively engage Helen’s services and have always loved her proactive and practical approach to improving our food safety systems. Helen’s in-depth knowledge of manufacturing safe, nutritious food matches our commitment to quality. Together we are able to achieve better quality fruit in both the field and the factory. This firm commitment to continuous improvement is what has seen Sujon grow and successfully enter new export markets.”

“When we first started working with Helen from Food Linkz we were a small business selling pine nuts at the Blenheim farmer’s market. Now, thanks in no small part to Helens professional and practical guidance we sell throughout NZ and export to two countries. Helen helped us navigate HACCP systems and has without a doubt been instrumental in our success. We look forward to working with her on our planned international sales expansion as our pine nut plantations mature.”
