About Us
Making Food Compliance Simpler
At Food Certification Group, our team of consultants work to help food businesses turn complex requirements into clear, practical systems that actually work in everyday operations. With a combined 50 years of experience working within food certification, there isn't much we haven't seen, meaning you can rest assured you are in capable hands with our team!
We understand the challenges when it comes to certification. There are regulations to follow, standards to meet, audits to prepare for… And all of it needs to fit into a business that’s already busy! That’s where we come in and support you.
What We Do
We support food businesses across Sweden and the EU in building clear, effective, and sustainable quality and food safety systems. Since launching Livsmedelskonsulten in 2025 we have worked with over 50 clients to support their Food Certification and compliance needs. Our work covers everything you need to stay compliant and audit-ready, including:
1. Pre-requsite programmes and internal procedures
2. Regulatory compliance
3. Internal audits and audit preparation
4. Staff training and food safety awareness
5. International Food Certification standards such as: FSSC 22000, IFS Foods, IFS Logistics, IFS Broker, BRCGS
Whether you’re just getting started or refining an existing system, we meet you where you are — and help you move forward with confidence.
Our Approach (What It’s Like to Work With Us)
We believe quality and food safety systems should support your business — not slow it down. So we aim to keep things:
Practical — built around how your business actually operates
Clear — explained in a way that makes sense (no unnecessary jargon)
Useful — something your team can understand and use every day
We don’t hand over generic templates and wish you luck.
Instead, we work alongside you, taking the time to understand your business, products, and processes, matching the right expertise of our consultants to your specific needs. Whether you choose for us to join you with The Full Process, or just an element of your Food Certification needs, our consultants are there to support you to achieve your best!

Cecilia Blomster is the founder and CEO of Livsmedelskonsulten and Food Certification Group, and brings over a decade of hands-on experience in food safety, quality, and regulatory compliance.
Her career has taken her through the full journey of the industry — from working as a Food Technician to leading as a Quality Manager and Head of Quality, before moving into consultancy and building her own businesses. Cecilia's experience means she understands what it’s actually like to work inside these systems, not just advise on them from the outside.
Cecilia has deep expertise in ISO/FSSC 22000 and IFS standards, and has supported a wide range of businesses through certifications, audits, and full system implementations. As a recognised IFS consultant, she brings a level of knowledge that is both highly specialised and genuinely practical — the kind that helps things run smoothly, not just look correct on paper.
Cecilia is known for her ability to build clear, compliant, and efficient systems from the ground up, always with a focus on what will work in real life. Her industry knowledge and expertise make her extremely knowledgable in her field.
When Cecilia isn’t busy running the business (and yes, she’ll happily admit she loves to work), she’s spending time with her sambo Crille and her son Alfred. Outside of work, it’s all about enjoying time with family, catching up with friends, and making the most of those everyday moments that balance out a busy schedule.
