I provide a comprehensive consulting approach for food businesses navigating the complexities of international trade and large-scale manufacturing. My expertise lies in aligning high-level Global Regulatory Strategy with ground-level Process Excellence, ensuring that food safety protocols are both scientifically sound and financially sustainable. With extensive experience in North American and international food laws - including SFCR, FSMA, FSANZ, and EU standards - I help organizations secure global market access through rigorous label validation, export documentation, and supplier risk management. My core services include: - Multijurisdictional Compliance: Navigating CFIA and FDA requirements, including Foreign Supplier Verification (FSVP) and Preventive Control Plans (PCP). - Finance & Risk Management: Balancing quality requirements with budgetary constraints and implementing cost-effective testing and supply chain verification strategies. - Training & Auditing: Delivering technical workforce training in GMPs, HACCP, and Food Defense, while leading successful GFSI-level audit executions (BRCGS, CanadaGAP, SQF, FSSC22000). By integrating technical food safety with operational oversight, I help clients build resilient systems that reduce risk and protect brand integrity in a competitive global marketplace.

My name is Fernanda Ferreira and I am principal owner for Reflective Media Inc. since 1998, working with a team of designers to navigate client engagements alongside me​. As the team lead I bring a wealth of experience to every project. Throughout the years I have worked at other larger studios and directly handled companies like Ganong and Ferrero which included four Ferrero brands: Tic Tac, Pralines, Nutella Retail, and Nutella Food Services. Other notable entities include Kraft, Bush Brothers and Company, Hain Celestial, Mondelez, and Unilever. With these clients I had the unique opportunity to work on brands like: Dove, Pond’s, Dove Men+Care, Alba Botanica, Jason, Avalon Organics, Garden of Eatin’, Spectrum, Kraft, Heinz, Ore-Ida, Velveeta, Maxwell House, Halls, and Bush’s Beans. ​ Under my own banner here at RM, the range of design and print work has included national campaigns for Palm Canada for span of 7 years, producing all of the Highland Farms private label food products over a span of 5 years, Mattel, Cadbury Neilson, Dricore just to name a few. Our designers are not just creative - they are a uniquely skilled group of ​design strategists that know how to bring projects to life. Creativity in our studio is borne out by quietly listening to our clients and making sure their vision is what drives every project.

I help small and growing food manufacturers strengthen their food safety and quality systems through practical HACCP, PCP, SQF, GMP, documentation, corrective action, and audit readiness support. Many food businesses reach a point where their operations are growing, but their food safety documentation, SOPs, records, traceability systems, allergen controls, sanitation programs, or corrective action processes are not yet fully organized or audit ready. I help companies identify these gaps, prioritize what needs to be fixed, and build practical systems that can be used by the team on the floor. My support includes: **HACCP and PCP documentation review **SQF and GMP readiness support **Audit readiness and gap assessments **SOP and record review **Corrective action and CAPA support **Traceability and mock recall support **Allergen control review **Sanitation program review **Food safety training support I bring 10 years of food safety and quality assurance experience across food manufacturing operations in Canada and the United States, with hands-on experience in HACCP systems, SQF programs, internal audits, regulatory and third-party audit preparation, sanitation, allergen control, traceability, supplier approval, corrective actions, and food safety training. My approach is practical, organized, and implementation-focused. I work best with small manufacturers, growing CPG brands, co-packers, and contract manufacturers that need structured FSQA support but may not yet have a fully developed internal quality team. If your company is preparing for an audit, strengthening HACCP or PCP documentation, organizing GMP/SQF systems, or trying to close food safety compliance gaps, I can support you with a focused review and a clear action plan.
