Who We Are
What makes Spearhead Food Consulting unique?
We’re not your typical Quality Assurance people. We’re business-minded foodies, just like you! We just happen to have significant experience in food manufacturing quality assurance, research and development, and regulatory compliance. All this, along with being classically trained in culinary arts and nutrition and having an MBA, makes Spearhead Food Consulting your one-stop shop for just about all your food manufacturing needs.
We truly believe you can’t get razor-sharp results without the proper support systems; the roots being the support system supporting the spearhead. We’ll help you build that solid foundation to get those razor-sharp results.
Our Team
We have a diverse team with back-of-the-house experience at five-star to no-star restaurants and some of the largest manufacturing companies in North America, with multiple points in between.
