“Working with Ana was a pleasure. She is very passionate about food safety and is always working diligently to ensure that everything meets both the facility requirements and the audit requirements. Ana is a pleasure to work with and is extremely knowledgeable. Contracting for her services was probably the best money my company spent this year.”
Brian Wardle – Food Safety and Security Coordinator, Nicholas and Company
“We had been struggling to get everything prepared for our food safety audit, so we
decided to partner with RefineUS. Anagha, the owner of RefineUS, was amazing to
work with and an immense help!
Anagha provided us with all the necessary resources, technical guidance, and support
that we needed. She rewrote and advised on our processes and systems in a very short
period of time. She always available when we had questions and their expertise in food
safety regulations is top-notch. She helped us pass our audit in no time!
It was very impressive to witness her knowledge and skills in action – our certifying
body was even learning new information from her. We couldn’t have done it without
RefineUS and you shouldn’t attempt it either! Efficiency meets effectiveness.”
Jared Perkins – COO, Plant Perks
“Right at the beginning of Gusto Brazil, we began to understand the importance of food safety, not only for the quality of the product, but as a requirement to scale big dreams of being on the shelves of markets and tables in restaurants. Our initial step towards structuring and preparing Gusto for the food market was the consultancy of Anagha Deshpande from RefineUS. Not only did she prepare Gusto Brazil in terms of GMP documentation, she also remodeled processes and culture to fit all food safety criteria. At the time, it was an impact for Gusto that was handled with great professionalism, loyalty and competence.

“RefineUS is a great company and very professional. Working with Anagha directly developing our HACCP plan was the best. She is amazing and helped us in every step of the way by developing a plan custom to our needs. She is very knowledgeable and is always up to date on the food safety regulations. She came to our facility and explained all the things we needed to do to adapt our facility to the standards and created the HACCP plan for us that will be able to grow with us to get further certifications like SQF and so on. Working with her made our transition from Direct Store Delivery to Warehouse Distribution smooth and seamless and Associated Food was really happy with their work. She even came and was personally with us during our inspections, which gave us so much confidence. In summary, we, P & P Coffee, LLC, recommend RefineUS & Anagha Deshpande for all your food safety needs.”

“I would highly recommend that anyone that needs to revise, update, or completely create a FSMA/HACCP plan consult with RefineUS. Especially before their next FDA audit if they do not have a FSMA plan in place or have not taken the PCQI training. I had a great experience with Anagha! She was able to help us put our plan together in record time and they really worked with us to get a thorough understanding of our processes that were already in place before she started our project. She was also able to explain things in a clear way that helped us be compliant and understanding of the new guidelines. If we had not consulted with RefineUS, I do not think we would have been prepared for our most recent FSMA audit from the FDA.I also feel that RefineUS really do care about our business. We chatted with them after our FDA audit, and I felt that Anagha really cared about how it went. I would absolutely use RefineUS as a consultant for future projects as I feel that their value and services are very helpful to us as a business!”
Lisa Fletcher – Operations Manager, Lucky Spoon Bakery
“I banged my head on my desk for many day and wasted many dollars on consultants that had no clue what they are doing. Then I was directed to RefineUS from my food distributor and what more can I say than 10 stars!!! five would be an understatement. In a world of missed deadlines and unfinished projects. RefineUS came in clutch. Even better before schedule. Anagha is absolutely amazing to work with. I can’t express my gratitude for the dedication she provided.”
Rob Miller – Owner & CEO, 1% Fitness
“Consulting with the RefineUS team has been a delight throughout our contract. Anagha is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and personable. She has great attitude and sense of humor, which I greatly appreciate. Humor has a place in life, and it keeps the pressures of work and life to a minimum. We took advantage of the opportunity during our relationship to gain PCQI certification for not only myself but also for our Warehouse Manager, and to prepare and successfully gain SQF certification of our facility last fall. We were extremely pleased with the work, advice, and support from RefineUS, and highly recommend them for any of your consulting needs, whether it be GFSI audit preparation, HACCP evaluation, or any other food safety issues that are critical to the success of your company. Thank you, RefineUS!”
Greg Parks – Director of Food Safety & Quality Assurance
“Working with Refine (especially Anagha) was an absolute pleasure. Not only did she create our food safety program here at Stone ground Bakery but she taught me and guided me through our first ever AIB audit. Anagha went the extra mile and really went out of her way to make sure Stone Ground Bakery succeed at every level. I highly recommend Refine for all your Food Safety needs.”
