About Saira

I am a Food Quality and Safety auditor and consultant with over 15 years of experience working with manufacturers, brands, retailers, and catering chains in Europe and Latin America.
I specialize in supplier and factory audits, preparation and maintenance of certifications (ISO 9001, ISO 22000, BRC, GFSI), non-conformity management, and action plans.
I help companies prepare for audits, resolve quality issues, close deviations, and strengthen their food safety systems, both remotely and on-site.
My experience includes multinationals, organized catering chains, and international supply chains, covering production, packaging, import/export, and co-manufacturers.
I work on a project basis, per audit, or on a part-time basis as external quality support.
