FDA enforcement is active. Inspections are increasing. Penalties are rising. We help restaurants, food service operations, and wholesale clubs in the Savannah–Brunswick–Jacksonville corridor stay compliant, reduce risk, and protect their brands.
Compliance, Mastered. Operations, Optimized. Partnership, Proven.
Food safety violations cost restaurants an average of $10,000 per incident — not counting lost customers, lawsuits, and reputational damage. We eliminate those risks before they happen.
We identify every gap before inspectors do — and fix them. Our clients achieve top-tier inspection scores consistently.
The FDA's traceability rule is complex. We handle the entire process — from gap analysis to full compliance — so you don't have to.
Warning letters, fines, and shutdowns destroy businesses. We build the systems that keep you off the FDA's radar.
We develop custom HACCP plans tailored to your specific menu, processes, and facility — not generic templates.
From ServSafe certification to custom SOPs, we train your team to maintain food safety standards every single day.
We deliver executive-grade documentation that proves your compliance posture to regulators, insurers, and partners.

LaShelle Food Safety & Risk Advisory was founded by Santoria Axson — a food safety and operational excellence leader who delivered #1 nationally ranked results for a Fortune 500 wholesale retailer, including a 99.75% food safety certification rate across a multi-state territory.
Now she brings that same level of rigor, precision, and strategic thinking to restaurants, food service operations, and wholesale clubs in the Savannah–Brunswick–Jacksonville corridor. When you work with us, you get Fortune 500 expertise at a scale that fits your business.
"We don't just audit your operations — we become your strategic shield."

As of January 20, 2026, the FDA is actively enforcing the Food Traceability Rule. Businesses that handle foods on the Food Traceability List must maintain specific records at every Critical Tracking Event. Non-compliance means warning letters, import alerts, injunctions, and potential criminal prosecution.
We handle the entire FSMA 204 compliance process — from initial assessment to full implementation and mock FDA inspection — so you can focus on running your business.
