I help dietary supplement and functional food brands get FDA and EFSA compliant faster, and without the reformulation surprises. As a food scientist, MSc graduate, and active PhD researcher, I review supplement labels, formulation documentation, structure/function claims, and Supplement Facts panels at the intersection of science and regulatory law.
Most compliance failures I see come from one place. The label, formulation, and claims were never reviewed together. A panel that looks correct fails when cross-checked against the ingredient COA. A claim that clears FDA triggers an EFSA upper limit. I catch these before they reach manufacturing, Amazon review, or retailer QA.I help dietary supplement and functional food brands identify and correct regulatory, labelling, and product formulation risks before submission, manufacturing, or retail review. My work supports Product Development across Food & Supplements and Food & Beverage categories, with a focus on FDA and EFSA regulated products.
My reviews typically cover:
- Product formulation and ingredient verification in terms of GRAS status, dosage justification, safety limits, stability considerations
- Label compliance and claims review reviewing Supplement Facts or Nutrition Panels, structure/function claims, FDA and EFSA wording
- Food science, chemistry, and food engineering alignment to help determine shelf-life logic, nutrient integrity, formulation feasibility.
- Technical documentation and traceability including COAs, ingredient sourcing records, substantiation summaries, QA documentation
- Product and recipe development support to support formulation refinement, nutrition alignment, and early stage risk screening for new or revised products.
Each engagement follows a structured, scientific, and regulatory evidence-based process. Findings are documented with clear regulatory rationale and practical correction steps, allowing teams to move forward efficiently and with confidence.
Most of my clients use my findings to:
- Finalize FDA-compliant labels with minimal or no revision
- Clear internal Quality Assurance, regulatory, and retail compliance checks
- Support investor, auditor, or partner review during product development or scale-up
Here is what previous clients have said:
“Sihle went above and beyond to resolve our isomalt cooking and storage issue. The solution was practical, technically sound, and delivered quickly.”
“Her label compliance review was detailed and well-explained. Each recommendation was supported by regulatory reasoning, and all questions were addressed clearly. Highly recommend.”
I offer targeted compliance reviews, including a 24-hour Compliance Snapshot that identifies high-risk regulatory, formulation, or labelling gaps and provides clear guidance for corrections before launch or submission.
If you need a decisive compliance assessment grounded in food science, chemistry, and FDA requirements with documentation you can confidently defend, feel free to reach out and let’s review your product before it becomes a problem...

Great projects don't succeed by chance, they succeed because someone is quietly ensuring everything is clear, organized, and moving forward on time.
I am a Project Manager who helps businesses turn ideas into structured, deliverable outcomes through proactive project coordination, operational support, and clear stakeholder communication. I specialize in keeping projects organized, workflows optimized, and cross-functional teams aligned so deadlines are met and nothing falls through the cracks.
My background is uniquely rooted in content and creative operations, which gives me a strong understanding of how ideas move from concept to execution.
Before transitioning fully into project management, I built a successful freelance career as a food writer on Upwork. In that role, I wasn't just writing. I was managing editorial workflows, coordinating with editors, clients, and creatives, tracking revisions, organizing deliverables, maintaining documentation, and consistently delivering high-quality work under strict deadlines. That experience built the foundation of my project coordination, stakeholder management, process improvement, and client communication skills.
What I help teams with:
* End-to-end project coordination and project execution
* Project planning, task management, and milestone tracking
* Timeline management and deadline coordination
* Stakeholder communication and cross-functional team alignment
* Client communication and progress reporting
* Workflow optimization and operational support
* Organizing project documentation, SOPs, and project trackers
* Identifying bottlenecks, solving problems proactively, and improving processes
* Supporting remote teams with structured execution and accountability
* Managing multiple projects and priorities while maintaining visibility across all workstreams
Tools I work with:
ClickUp, Asana, Trello, Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, and AI tools such as ChatGPT.
My approach:
I bring structure without complexity. I take ownership of keeping projects moving, improving workflows, and ensuring teams stay aligned through clear communication, proactive follow-up, and organized execution. My focus is on creating operational efficiency, maintaining project visibility, and helping businesses deliver projects on time without unnecessary confusion or delays.
If you're looking for a proactive, detail-oriented Project Manager who understands both creative work and structured execution, I'd be glad to help bring order to your projects, streamline your operations, and support your team's success.
