About Nicolle Oberholzer

Q: What do you get when you cross a science lover, foodie, and an innovative changemaker? A: Me - A Food Scientist with a flair for flavour, product development and a mission for food safety and quality assurance. From developing wellness products and fortified foods to auditing suppliers across continents and developing comprehensive HACCP plans, I’ve blended my passion for food with technical knowledge in humanitarian settings, food manufacturing, product development and food safety. Currently supporting regional food safety for the UN World Food Programme (ensuring programmes across various countries feed those we serve safely), I live for the sweet spot where innovation meets science. Whether crafting spice blends, training future foodies, enhancing food safety culture, or fine-tuning FSSC systems, training on basic Food Safety & Quality practices, I do it with heart, humour, and a hunger for excellence. Let’s make food safer, tastier, and smarter – one spec sheet at a time.
