Q Squared Consult

Business Overview

Q Squared Consult is a food safety and hygiene consultancy based in Qormi, Malta. The business works as health and safety consultants in Malta with a clear focus on the food industry. The team is also known locally as food safety consultants in Malta. They help bakeries, restaurants, hotels, meat processors, food packers, importers and distributors meet the standards that protect both customers and reputation.

Malta and EU food hygiene law require every food business to run hazard analysis and critical control point, or HACCP, procedures. Building a HACCP plan from scratch can feel overwhelming for a busy kitchen or production line. Q Squared Consult works alongside the business to design a HACCP plan. Each plan comes with a prerequisite programme that fits how the operation actually runs, rather than a generic template that gathers dust in a drawer.

Hygiene standards auditing sits at the centre of the service. A hygiene audit Read Morelooks closely at how food is stored, prepared and handled. It flags anything that could put safety or compliance at risk. The team also carries out GMP auditing, short for good manufacturing practice auditing, for production and processing sites. This checks that written procedures match what actually happens on the shop floor.

For businesses that supply retailers or export markets, Q Squared Consult supports certification against recognised food safety management standards. These include ISO22000, FSSC22000 and BRCGS food and packaging safety. Each standard calls for a documented, working food safety management system. The consultancy helps put one in place, test it, and keep it current as the business grows.

Consultancy of this kind works best when it stays practical rather than theoretical. Q Squared Consult explains findings in plain language. Owners and staff then understand not just what needs to change but why it matters. Clear communication also makes it easier for a team to keep new procedures running once the consultant has left the premises. This is where many food safety plans quietly fall apart.

Malta's food and hospitality sector spans everything from small artisan producers to sizeable importers and distributors. Each type of business has different hazards to manage and different standards to meet. Q Squared Consult has worked across this range. New businesses setting up a first HACCP plan and established operators preparing for a certification audit both fall within its scope.

Getting hygiene and food safety compliance right protects a business from closure notices, product recalls and reputational damage. It also protects customers from genuine harm. The need might be a first HACCP plan, a hygiene audit ahead of an inspection, or ongoing GMP support. Either way, Q Squared Consult offers a structured way to reach that standard and maintain it.
