Jmb Consultants

What Jmb Consultants does

JMB Consultants (SARL JMB CONSULTANTS) is a privately held French food hygiene and safety advisory firm founded in 2001 and headquartered at 18 Rue Pelleport, Paris. The company serves restaurants, caterers, artisan food producers (boulangers, bouchers, métiers de bouche), dark kitchen operators, and large restaurant chains and platforms operating in France. Its work is grounded in HACCP methodology and French/EU food safety regulation, notably the Paquet Hygiène framework and DDPP inspection requirements, supplemented by microbiological sampling and shelf-life (DLC/DDM) testing conducted through accredited partner laboratories.

The firm's service portfolio comprises five integrated offerings: (1) on-site hygiene audits, (2) Qualiopi-certified advisory and training (2-hour hygiene awareness at €200/person, 14-hour HACCP training at €350/person, plus custom and reopening-assistance sessions), (3) creation and updating of the mandatory Plan de Maîtrise Sanitaire (PMS), (4) sanitary approval (agrément sanitaire) dossier preparation and facility flow studies for DDPP submission, and (5) microbiological analyses and aging tests to validate shelf life. Notable named clients include Deliveroo, Netflix (catering operations), Chipotle, Poke House, Taster, Tortilla, Bouillon Le Site, Alice Pizza, and The French Bastards.

JMB generates revenue through professional-services engagements billed per audit, per training participant, per dossier, or per analytical batch, with a sales-led GTM executed via direct outreach, a website with dedicated city-specific SEO pages across nine French cities, phone-led inbound, and word-of-mouth referrals. The firm is owner-operated (no disclosed investors, parent, or subsidiaries), Qualiopi-certified and DRIAFF-referenced, and has accumulated over two decades of regulatory and operational expertise as its primary differentiator.

Broad incumbents

• Eurofins Scientific: European leader in food, feed, and environmental testing laboratories with a substantial French footprint. Overlaps with JMB on the microbiological analysis and shelf-life testing component of the offering, though Eurofins is lab-centric and not primarily a compliance consulting firm.
• Intertek: Global TIC company offering food safety auditing, certification, and laboratory testing services. Operates in France through food industry audits (BRC, FSSC 22000, IFS) that directly overlap with JMB's HACCP-based audit and PMS offerings for enterprise food clients.
• SGS: Swiss-headquartered TIC leader operating worldwide, with food safety audits, certification (FSSC 22000, ISO 22000), and agri-food testing services across France. Competes with JMB on enterprise HACCP audits and food safety certification for restaurant chains and food producers.
• Bureau Veritas: Global testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) giant with a large food and agri-food services practice in France covering audits, HACCP certification, and lab testing. A broad incumbent whose food-safety consulting offering competes for the same chain clients that JMB serves, but at much greater scale and geographic reach.
• Mérieux NutriSciences (bioMérieux): Subsidiary of bioMérieux providing food safety testing, auditing, and consulting services globally with strong French presence. Directly comparable on the testing-and-advisory bundle JMB sells, with the scale advantage of the parent diagnostics group.
• ALS Global: International food and environmental testing laboratory group providing microbiological, residue, and shelf-life testing in France. Comparable to the laboratory services portion of JMB's bundle and a potential partner or competitor depending on go-to-market approach.
• DEKRA: Germany-headquartered TIC firm with food safety audits, certification, and training services across Europe including France. Targets the same chain and food manufacturer clients as JMB but with broader service portfolio and multi-country delivery capability.
