Gretchen Campbell Johnson, Chief Regulatory Officer and founder.
Cibum Associates was born of necessity. After years in corporate Food Safety and Regulatory Compliance in the manufacturing and retail brand sectors, it became evident to our founder Gretchen, that there is a significant regulatory expertise gap between the resources of the huge CPG companies and the majority of small or mid-size food companies in the US and Canada. Many companies have Quality Assurance, R&D or marketing teams that do their best to manage the regulatory landscape to create compliant food labels, but rarely do they have the resources or the consistent work to justify a full time staff member. Honestly, the work of updating claims, formulation changes or the launch of a new product or line extension comes in daunting bursts of work but rarely a daily activity unless you have hundreds of products in your portfolio. That's where Cibum comes is, We can be the extension of your team to answer questions, work with R&D and Quality and Food Safety to develop label content and then with marketing to ensure that layout and content are compliant.
Diversity matters to Cibum because it is WHO and What we are and do every day. To Cibum, diversity brings a wide range of perspective to creative problem solving and solution oriented focus. Cibum Associates is a Woman, Veteran, and LGBT owned and run business. Perspective is everything, having multiple perspective allows us to see outside the box and be great problem solvers.
