Website Terms & Consulting Disclaimer

Effective date: September 12, 2026

Independent consulting

Food Safety Made Simple is an independent food-safety consulting and training business. It is not a government agency and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, or any other regulatory authority unless expressly stated in writing.

No official inspection

Mock inspections, audits, consultations, reviews, and readiness assessments provided by Food Safety Made Simple are advisory services and are not official regulatory inspections.

No guarantee of inspection outcome

Food Safety Made Simple does not guarantee that a client will pass an official inspection, avoid violations, receive a particular regulatory decision, or obtain a permit, license, variance, or certification. Regulatory authorities make those determinations independently.

Client responsibility

Clients remain responsible for operating in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, permit conditions, food codes, manufacturer instructions, and regulatory requirements. Recommendations should be implemented only when appropriate for the specific operation and applicable authority.

Educational information

Website content and general educational materials are provided for informational purposes. Requirements can change and may differ by jurisdiction, operation type, process, and regulatory authority. Site content should not be treated as legal advice or as a substitute for guidance from the authority having jurisdiction.

Training and certification

Where a third-party certification, exam, accreditation, or credential is involved, the applicable provider controls eligibility, testing, credential issuance, renewal, and other certification requirements. Food Safety Made Simple will identify when a service is preparation or education rather than the credential itself.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, website text, original templates, training materials, graphics, and other original content are owned by Food Safety Made Simple and may not be copied, resold, or redistributed without permission.

Service terms

Specific consulting engagements may be subject to a separate written consulting agreement, scope of work, invoice, cancellation policy, or training agreement. If those documents conflict with these website terms, the signed service agreement controls for that engagement.

Changes

These terms may be updated from time to time. Continued use of the website after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised website terms.
