Jeremy Okwuosa is the Founder and Principal Consultant of Public Food Safety Solutions, LLC, and a senior FSQA implementation specialist with over 25 years of experience transforming complex, high-risk food manufacturing operations across USDA FSIS, USFDA, and USDC-regulated facilities. He is frequently engaged when organizations face regulatory crises, consent decrees, or operational breakdowns requiring rapid stabilization and hands-on leadership—particularly when gap analysis findings and formal assessments must be translated into sustainable, execution-ready corrective actions.
His career includes progressive FSQA leadership roles with Johnsonville Foods, Genoa Sausage, Kayem Foods, Cozy Harbor Seafood, Chabaso Bakery, and, most recently, Vice President of FSQA at The Fishin’ Company, supporting retail, foodservice, and club markets. His experience spans seafood, meat and poultry, bakery, RTE, and start-up operations, with deep expertise in pathogen control, GFSI certification (BRCGS, SQF), and food safety culture transformation. He has led successful facility recoveries following FDA enforcement actions, guided organizations through consent-decree compliance, and supported multi-pathogen risk-reduction efforts while preserving workforce stability.
Jeremy’s approach blends strategic leadership alignment with disciplined on-site execution. Beginning his career on the production floor—in production, sanitation, and in-house microbiology laboratories—he brings frontline credibility that enables effective partnership across all organizational levels. His mantra, “Food Safety is Public Safety,” reflects a belief that operational excellence and public health protection are inseparable.
He holds HACCP (USDA, FDA, Seafood), BRCGS Practitioner, FSMA PCQI, SQF Practitioner, Food Defense, and ServSafe Manager certifications, and earned a Bachelor of Science in Animal Science from Southern University A&M College. As an Active Food Safety advisor, Jeremy supports clients in operationalizing food safety systems that endure long after the engagement concludes.
