Food safety AI, built by food safety experts.

Experts in the loop. Decisions you can defend.

We help food safety teams apply trusted AI to assess risk, strengthen programs, and improve food safety decision-making.

The challenge

Food safety risk is increasing faster than expert support.

Complexity is growing.

Teams must interpret more food safety data, supplier information, operational factors, and regulatory expectations — often across multiple sites, products, and processes.

Resources are stretched.

Internal expertise is constrained, specialized support can be difficult to access, and turnover can take institutional knowledge with it.

Generic tools fall short.

Scientific tools can be hard to use, compliance requirements and technical knowledge are often scattered, and general-purpose AI can sound plausible without providing answers that are specific, traceable, and trustworthy.

The solution

A food safety AI platform designed to scale expert-guided decision support with traceable rationale.

Encoded expert reasoning

Frameworks, criteria, and decision logic from leading food safety experts are translated into AI workflows that support high-consequence food safety decisions.

Curated knowledge

Scientific, regulatory, and industry sources are reviewed and organized for food safety-specific workflows.

Traceable outputs

Guidance connects assumptions, supporting sources, confidence signals, and rationale so teams can understand how it was developed.

Data security

Designed with access controls, customer-controlled permissions, and deployment options to help safeguard sensitive food safety, operational, and business data.

Human escalation

Complex or high-risk questions can be escalated to a qualified expert when additional judgment is needed.

Capabilities

Built for practical food safety decision support.

Food safety workflows — Food Safety Plan Builder, Food Defense Plan Builder, EMP Designer, Sampling Plan Designer

Food safety workflows

Purpose-built AI tools apply expert food safety reasoning to risk assessment, environmental monitoring program (EMP) design, food safety plan development, and related workflows.

Guided execution

Move from question to action with structured prompts, relevant context, practical next steps, and outputs your team can review and document.

Scheduling and follow-up

Scheduling & follow-up

Coordinate recurring food safety activities such as environmental monitoring, sanitation verification, corrective actions, and program reviews.

Facility context informs recommendations when enabled

Facility context

Use facility, product, process, and program context to provide more relevant guidance, with customer-controlled privacy settings.

Who it helps

Small and mid-sized manufacturers

Lean FSQ teams that need practical expert guidance to assess risk, strengthen programs, and make defensible decisions without adding headcount.

Enterprise food companies

Multi-site operations that need consistent risk assessment, program harmonization, and predictive insights across sites, suppliers, and production partners.

Labs, service providers, and advisors

Organizations that want to embed expert-guided food safety decision support into testing, compliance, or advisory offerings.

The experts behind the AI

FLX brings together expertise in food safety, food science, food law and regulation, applied AI, data science, and technology development and implementation.
