World Class Consulting

World Class Consulting (WCC) is a leading player in the field of food safety and compliance. Backed by a team of consultants with 50 years of combined experience in multiple layers within federal, state, and local regulatory compliance agencies, it focuses on developing efficient HACCP plans. WCC’s diverse clientele includes food service businesses, food processors, manufacturers, and retail food establishments.

“Whether it is an initial HACCP plan or ongoing food safety compliance programs, we believe our clients deserve access to the best available resources in the industry, and we are here to help them with that,” says Danielle Dutreix, president of WCC. With deep-rooted industry experience, Dutreix has been instrumental in driving the WCC team to develop effective HACCP and food safety programs.

As leaders in food safety approval, WCC consultants ensure that their HACCP plans and quality programs are airtight and save clients time and money. WCC’s food safety services cover everything from good manufacturing procedures, standard sanitation operating procedures, and internal audits to labeling that complies with FDA or USDA regulations.

WCC understands the challenges associated with the duration and expense of developing and maintaining food safety programs. It is an expert in deciphering and implementing food code regulations in various states, which involve many parts or elements that can manifold into an arduous process for most food operators.

WCC begins with an initial consultation to understand clients’ needs, whether it is reduced oxygen packaging, fresh juice packaging, or smoking and curing. The team then defines the scope of work, outlining the details along with the food safety plans clients would require, including USDA certification, labeling certification, and hazard analysis of raw materials in case of FDA compliance.

WCC formulates a series of steps to prevent biological, chemical, and physical hazards, and specifies monitoring and verification tools to support daily operations for clients. It guarantees 100 percent satisfaction and compliance with regulatory agencies from the beginning of the project to its completion and approval.

In one instance, WCC worked with a client who wanted to obtain a variance for holding rice without temperature controls, which required monitoring, corrective action, and verifications for pH testing. It was able to help the client find solutions in obtaining the most cost-effective pH meter, designing logs, and establishing perimeters for the food safety operators to implement these systems. WCC created a HACCP plan that addressed all the food safety hazards with standard operating procedures to support the plan and submitted all documentation to the local health department. The plan was successfully approved within ten days.

“Customer satisfaction measures how happy customers are with our service. And for many businesses, it’s the difference between success and failure—and WCC is here to ensure our clients succeed,” says Dutreix.

Driven by consumer demand, emerging technologies, and the need to deliver products faster and more efficiently than ever before, the food industry has been radically evolving. With consistency and efficiency at the core, WCC utilizes its solutions to ensure that these needs are met. By implementing precise tools, templates, and logs that have been designed over the years, WCC continues to sharpen its competitive edge. Overall, WCC is geared to deliver robust HACCP and food safety programs to help clients increase sales by lessening the stress, cost, and time involved in internally developing these management systems.
