Culture Advisory Group Inc. (CAG)—a Canadian food safety governance, quality, and risk management solutions provider—is expanding into the U.S. through a strategic partnership with the Food Safety Leadership Group (FSLG).

The partnership unites two complementary organizations to provide food, beverage, and supplement companies across North America with an approach to food safety that goes beyond compliance to enterprise-wide risk optimization.

Developed through years of working with Canadian and global food companies, CAG offers administrative and governance frameworks, proprietary risk management software, and board-level advisory services. FSLG contributes industry technical expertise, senior-level operational field experience, and established relationships with U.S. food manufacturers.

Together, the two companies leverage a full spectrum of capabilities that enable them to help companies build a food safety culture, from the production floor to the boardroom.

Operating under the CAG banner, the partnership provides multinational companies and cross-border operations with a unified oversight of their top food safety and quality risks. Instead of navigating different approaches or providers in each country, CAG clients gain consistent methodology, integrated reporting, and coordinated support across their entire North American footprint.

A unique feature of the partnership is CAG’s proprietary Enterprise Food Safety Risk Optimization methodology. Unlike traditional public-based and compliance-focused audits or certifications, this approach enables companies to confidentially identify, quantify, and actively manage food safety risks across all areas of the organization, providing boards and senior-level executives with visibility and control to make informed decisions.

The partnership is operational immediately, serving clients across Canada and the U.S.
