Meat Processing Consulting

Meet Chris Fuller:

getting it right the first time

I've worked with a lot of meat. I've worked in a lot of meat facilities. Every operation has pros and cons…it’s the nature of the business. Whether it’s an in-house developed component, a work-around, or standard procedure developed by the QA team, all operations have flaws. With our industry experience and expertise, our goal is to incorporate the pros and avoid the cons when setting up your operation.

It's already enough of a challenge to operate a small meat processing plant successfully - avoiding unnecessary mistakes and creating the most streamlined business possible is why I started Fuller Consulting. By focusing on efficiency, worker safety, animal welfare, and food safety to ensure your operation runs the way you envision and makes you money. We’ll get it right the first time.
