J4 Food Consulting Services Inc. was originally established over 14 years to support a federal meat plant that had been closed by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency due to export issues and microbiological contamination. Since that time, J4 Food Consulting Services has supported multiple companies ranging from cookies to coffee, pet food and kitty litter. Historically, our consulting work focused on targeted, project-specific issues such as:
Resolving ongoing listeria and environmental monitoring challenges
Supporting facilities in avoiding regulatory plant closures
Completing gap assessments before major audits
Redesigning food safety and quality programs to meet GFSI standards
Supporting engineering teams in plant redesign or expansion
Reassessing allergen programs during product development
Providing regulatory justification and documentation for government approval
As J4 expands beyond the corporate world, the business now includes career development coaching, executive coaching, and broader strategic consulting for individuals and organizations.
Our goal is simple:
To provide trusted expertise, practical solutions, and professional development that drives long-term success.
