Training & Implementation

Food safety isn't optional — it's the foundation of every food business. Yet many restaurants and cafes in India operate without proper FSSAI compliance, documented hygiene protocols, or trained staff. It's not always neglect — it's often confusion about what's required and how to implement it.
At LME, food safety is non-negotiable. Every batch is traceable, every surface is sanitised on schedule, and every team member knows their hygiene responsibilities. Shona has built these systems from scratch and knows how to implement them in kitchens of any size — from a small bakery to a multi-outlet restaurant chain.
Our food safety consulting covers the full spectrum: FSSAI license guidance and compliance documentation, comprehensive kitchen hygiene audits, creation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) tailored to your operation, and hands-on staff training that goes beyond theory. We don't just give you a checklist — we work in your kitchen to build habits that stick.
Whether you're preparing for an FSSAI audit, responding to a customer complaint, or simply want to raise your kitchen's standards, our consulting gives you the systems and training to operate with confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an FSSAI license for my small food business?
Yes. Any food business in India — regardless of size — requires FSSAI registration or licensing. The type depends on your turnover and operations. We help you determine which category you fall under and guide you through the process.
What does a kitchen hygiene audit cover?
Our audit covers food storage practices, preparation area cleanliness, equipment maintenance, pest control measures, waste management, water quality, personal hygiene of staff, and cross-contamination risks.
How often should we update our SOPs?
SOPs should be reviewed every 6-12 months or whenever you make significant changes to your menu, equipment, or processes. We provide SOPs that are easy to update and maintain.
Can you help us prepare for an FSSAI inspection?
Absolutely. We conduct a mock inspection following FSSAI audit criteria, identify all gaps, fix them, and prepare your team so they're confident and ready when the actual inspection happens.
