Veterinarian 🐶 | Global Health (Harvard University) 🎓 | Food Safety Expert 🥗 | CEO of Borderless 💫 | Author 📚 | Poultry & Egg Specialist 🥚 | AFDO & IAFP Member 🇺🇸 | FDA Recognized 🏛 | Pet Lover 🐱
Graduated in Veterinary Medicine in 2011, with a specialization in quality management of animal-derived products, I have solid experience in the veterinary and agro-industrial sectors. As a member of the IAFP, I work on implementing and supervising quality systems to ensure food safety and regulatory compliance.
As a technical leader, I oversee the entire production chain—from farm to consumer—ensuring product quality, sanitary control, traceability, and animal welfare.
I also have experience in pet clinical care, including diagnosis and advanced treatments, which strengthens my understanding of animal and public health.
My work integrates technical expertise, practical experience, and a strong commitment to food safety, contributing to the protection of both human and animal health.
Originally founded in Brazil and now proudly headquartered in the United States, our company is committed to transforming quality, efficiency, and food safety across the entire food production chain.
We deliver a full spectrum of tailored services for both industry and retail, driving sustainable growth and fostering a culture of excellence throughout the food sector.
Through innovative strategies and advanced technology, we empower our clients to reach the highest levels of regulatory compliance, operational performance, and consumer trust.
Our mission is simple but powerful: to ensure that every product delivered to the final consumer is not only safe, but also exceeds the most rigorous global standards.
Food safety doesn’t start at the slaughterhouse — it begins at the very first stage of animal production. Proper breeding, a controlled environment, balanced nutrition, and the prevention of exposure to harmful substances are fundamental to ensuring the safety of food at its origin.
In egg production farms, for example, rigorous inspection protocols are essential to guarantee that only high-quality, contaminant-free eggs reach consumers’ tables. This same level of care must be applied throughout the entire meat supply chain, including pork, beef, and poultry.
From livestock management to processing and distribution, every step must be monitored, documented, and verified to protect public health and ensure that the final product is safe, traceable, and compliant with national and international standards.
Foodborne illnesses linked to animal-derived products pose a serious threat to public health, with some cases leading to life-threatening complications. Contaminated meat, eggs, milk, and other animal products can serve as vehicles for dangerous pathogens, resulting in outbreaks that affect thousands of people annually.
The health consequences range from mild symptoms like fever, nausea, and diarrhea to severe conditions such as kidney failure, neurological disorders, and even death. Beyond the devastating health impact, these illnesses cripple economies, leading to massive financial losses and irreparable damage to the reputation of food industry companies.
In the United States, some of the most prevalent foodborne diseases linked to animal products include:
✔ Salmonellosis (Salmonella) – Causes acute gastrointestinal distress, fever, and dehydration;
✔ Campylobacteriosis (Campylobacter) – One of the leading bacterial causes of food poisoning worldwide;
✔ E. coli infections (Escherichia coli) – Can lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), kidney failure, and death, particularly in children and the elderly.
To mitigate these risks, it is crucial to consume only inspected and certified animal-derived products. In the U.S., regulatory agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) enforce strict safety protocols to prevent contamination and ensure public health protection.
However, compliance goes beyond government oversight—the role of highly trained professionals, such as veterinary food safety specialists, is essential in ensuring that food production facilities uphold the highest safety and hygiene standards. Their expertise is a critical line of defense against foodborne outbreaks.
By prioritizing food safety, choosing certified products, and supporting stringent food safety policies, consumers not only protect themselves and their families but also contribute to global public health efforts in preventing foodborne diseases.

Salmonellosis is an infectious disease caused by Salmonella bacteria. It is primarily transmitted through contaminated food, particularly undercooked or improperly stored meat, eggs, and dairy products. Symptoms of salmonellosis include diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and nausea. In severe cases, the infection can enter the bloodstream, leading to serious complications. Preventing salmonellosis involves simple food hygiene practices, such as thoroughly cooking food, washing hands before handling food, and properly storing food.
Hepatitis A is a viral infection that affects the liver. It is primarily transmitted through the consumption of contaminated food or water, or through close contact with an infected person. Symptoms of hepatitis A include fatigue, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and jaundice. While most people recover without serious complications, in some cases, the infection can lead to liver failure or other severe health issues. Hepatitis A can be prevented through proper hygiene practices, such as regular handwashing and avoiding contaminated food and water. Vaccines are also available to prevent hepatitis A.
Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. It is typically acquired through the ingestion of food contaminated with the feces of infected cats or by contact with contaminated soil. Most people with toxoplasmosis show no symptoms, but in some cases, it can cause fever, muscle pain, and fatigue. In pregnant women, toxoplasmosis can be transmitted to the fetus, potentially leading to severe neurological or ocular damage. Toxoplasmosis can be prevented through simple measures, such as washing hands before handling food, thoroughly cooking meat, and avoiding contact with cat feces.
Botulism is a rare and serious disease caused by a toxin produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacteria. The bacteria can be found in soil and in improperly preserved, stored, or handled foods. Symptoms of botulism include muscle weakness, blurred vision, dry mouth, and difficulty speaking and swallowing. In severe cases, it can lead to muscle paralysis and respiratory failure, which can be fatal. Botulism can be prevented through proper food hygiene practices, such as avoiding the consumption of improperly preserved or contaminated foods, particularly homemade preserves.
Listeriosis is an infection caused by the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes. This bacteria can be found in contaminated foods such as raw or unpasteurized meat, milk, cheese, raw vegetables, and processed meats. Symptoms of listeriosis include fever, muscle aches, nausea, diarrhea, and headache. In severe cases, the infection can spread to the central nervous system, leading to meningitis or other serious complications. Listeriosis can be prevented through simple food hygiene practices, such as washing hands before handling food, thoroughly cooking food, and avoiding the consumption of raw or undercooked food.
Campylobacteriosis is a common bacterial infection that affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is caused by the Campylobacter jejuni bacteria, which can be found in poultry meat, raw milk, and contaminated water. Symptoms of campylobacteriosis include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, fever, and nausea. Most people recover without specific treatment, but in severe cases, the infection can lead to complications such as reactive arthritis and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Campylobacteriosis can be prevented through proper food hygiene practices, such as washing hands before handling food, thoroughly cooking poultry meat, and avoiding the consumption of raw milk or contaminated water.
Proper food handling is essential to prevent diseases, deaths, and long-term health consequences resulting from consuming contaminated food. Moreover, careful food handling can reduce the need for medications and hospitalizations, significantly lowering healthcare costs.
