Ensuring food safety, cultivating excellence
Welcome to Food Safety and Culture, your trusted food safety consultant. I am passionate about helping food businesses achieve compliance, strengthen food safety knowledge and build a positive, proactive food safety culture, giving you confidence, clarity and peace of mind.
My expertise, your peace of mind
I offer a full range of food safety services in New Zealand, designed for food manufacturers, cafés, restaurants, child care centres, catering businesses and warehousing operations. I take the time to understand your unique processes and challenges, providing practical, easy-to-implement solutions that keep you compliant and your customers safe.
True food safety isn’t achieved by ticking boxes. It’s built through a culture where quality and safety are embedded into daily decision-making and operational behaviour. That belief underpins everything I do and shapes the approach I bring to every business.

"I cannot recommend Stephanie Wright highly enough for her support with our food safety operations. She stepped in to assist our small food distribution company with food safety documentation and registration, and she handled the entire process with impressive professionalism and ease. Her support took the stress out of compliance and her dedication in supporting us to get registered quickly was truly appreciated"
