EHA Consulting Group

What EHA Consulting Group does

EHA Consulting Group, Inc. is a privately held professional services firm headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, founded in 1980 as environmental and public health consultants. The firm provides specialized food safety and public health consulting services to restaurant groups, food manufacturers, produce industry clients, drug and cosmetic companies, food truck operators, warehousing facilities, and other food-handling businesses. Core service offerings include third-party food safety auditing, food ingredient safety consulting (including HACCP analysis, contamination evaluation, and supplier diligence), food packaging safety consulting, and public health preparedness services covering outbreak response and epidemiological investigations. The firm also operates the EHA Pathogen Index, a public-facing reference database covering foodborne, nosocomial, and bioaerosol pathogens, and maintains a content library of white papers, allergen management resources, and documented case studies.

The company delivers services through a sales-led, direct-engagement model, with professional consulting fees structured as project-based engagements. Services are provided 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, supported by a team that includes microbiologists, epidemiologists, and former regulatory inspectors with field experience. Customer acquisition relies heavily on content marketing channels — including a blog, white papers, case studies, and the Pathogen Index — to demonstrate expertise and generate inbound interest. The firm reports a headcount of 1–10, operates exclusively within the United States, and shows no evidence of institutional funding, M&A activity, or external investment in the source materials.

Reported revenue, headcount trends, funding history, and ownership structure beyond the indication of private, founder-controlled operation are not disclosed in the available inputs.
