Solutions
Product & Market Launch
Get it right from Day 1 with food safety foundations built for innovation.
Launching in FoodTech isn’t like traditional categories. You’re often working with new ingredients, smaller co-manufacturing partners, innovative productions processes and new claims. This creates hidden risks: shelf life and scalability issues, unclear allergen controls, supply chain blind spots, and packaging or label errors that only surface post-launch. Apollo helps you de-risk from the start and offers services including:
-
End-to-End Product Launch Support - Full guidance from concept to shelf, tailored to your product, claims, and speed to market
-
Supplier, CMO & Supply Chain Approval - Onboarding and vetting of ingredient suppliers, co-manufacturers, and logistics/warehousing partners - including risk mapping and documentation checks
-
Packaging & Label Approval - From specification and label review to transit trials and final pack sign-off - ensuring legal, claim, and operational fit
-
Allergen, GMO & Claim Management - Clear guidance on documentation and supply chain requirements for vegan, allergen, GMO-free, and sustainability-linked claims
-
Trial & First Production Run Support - Hands-on support to prepare, validate, and monitor your initial production runs - catching risks before scale
-
Shelf Life & Testing Strategy - Define the testing required (e.g. micro, stability, heavy metals), with clear justification to support shelf-life and product quality
-
HACCP Build or Review - We create or pressure-test your HACCP plan to reflect your actual risk profile, especially for new ingredients and production processes
-
General Consulting & Troubleshooting - Flex support for whatever’s emerging - from late-stage label changes to technical firefighting or Co-Manufacture misalignment
'Apollo Check' Assessment
Apollo Check: Clarity for Confident Decisions
Senior leaders need clear, balanced insights they can act on which is often a challenge in the Food Safety & quality space. Apollo Check is a suite of targeted assessments designed to help FoodTech founders and leaders understand where they stand and what to do next. Built from experience across complex product launches, international scale-ups, and technical due diligence, each check offers a fast, focused scan of your systems to highlight risks, gaps, and opportunities at critical growth moments:
-
Foundation Check - A baseline scan of your current systems to identify gaps, risks, and priority next steps - for smaller pre-launch teams who need basic systems
-
Launch Readiness Check - A focused review to prepare your systems, suppliers, and documentation for a confident go-to-market (whether Business to Business or larger retail launch)
-
Scalability Check - A strategic look at your systems when you are in growth stage - covering traceability, internal ownership, supplier expansion, and risk escalation planning.
-
Merger & Acquisition / Corporate Venture Capital Assessment - A due diligence-style assessment designed for investors and leadership teams - evaluating technical risk, compliance maturity, and scale-readiness of target businesses at these pivotal aquisition stages
Crisis & Risk Management
When something goes wrong, the damage can be both operational and reputational. Build resilience before a crisis hits and then respond with confidence when it does is key. Whether you need foundational processes or live support during an incident, we tailor our services to your product risk, market exposure, and team readiness.
Key services include:
-
Crisis & Recall Procedures Buildout - Clear, audit-ready procedures for managing recalls, withdrawals, and reputational risk
-
Basic Crisis Training - Entry-level training for teams to understand roles, escalation steps, and how to act under pressure
-
Advanced Crisis Training & Simulation Exercises - High-intensity training and realistic simulations to prepare your leadership team for real-world scenarios
-
Live Crisis & Recall Management - On-call guidance and structured support when an issue arises - helping you manage external risk, internal alignment, and stakeholder communication
-
Complex Supply Chain Risk Support - Support for managing multi-layered risks across ingredient, packaging, and co-manufacturing chains
-
Food Fraud (TACCP) & Food Vulnerability (VACCP) Assessments - Build risk-based systems to protect against fraud, contamination, or malicious threats
-
General Consulting & Issue-Specific Troubleshooting - Flexible support across complaints, regulatory investigations, or escalation reviews
Certification & Systems
Beyond the audit: build trust with the right structure.
For scaling FoodTech brands, certification isn’t just a box to tick - it’s a trust signal. Whether you're preparing for retail listing, fundraising, or international expansion, certifications like BRCGS, IFS, Organic, or the V-Label can fast-track confidence with buyers and regulators. But success starts long before the audit.
At Apollo, we help you choose the right path - and build smart, scalable systems that actually work for your business. We combine certification expertise with practical, startup-ready tools. And through our partnership with a leading QMS platform, we deliver intuitive, easy-to-use systems that don’t collapse under pressure or complexity.

-
Platform Implementation - Through our platform partner, we deliver intuitive, tech-enabled systems built for FoodTech - with workflows, dashboards, and templates ready to go.

Team & Resourcing
Build the right team, not just any team.
In fast-growing FoodTech companies, it’s easy to under-hire or over-hire. Teams often bring in the wrong level of food safety experience for their stage - too junior to lead, or too senior for the pace and scope. That’s where Apollo comes in.
We help founders and operational leaders build food safety and quality functions that fit their business maturity, culture, and ambitions - whether that means recruiting the right person, plugging a leadership gap, or designing an agile model for the next 12–24 months.
-
Org Design & Resourcing Models - Clear structure recommendations that evolve with your growth stage — from single-point leadership to full-function scale.
-
Fractional FSQ Leadership - Ongoing or interim support to give you senior guidance without a full-time hire. Strategy, oversight, and decision-making, on tap.
-
Outsourced Solutions - We can fully manage your food safety and quality function for you - with defined scopes, SLAs, and outcomes.
-
Recruitment & Talent Support - From defining the right role to candidate evaluation and onboarding, we help you hire the right people for your stage
