The Lab

Why does hummus spoil and honey doesn't?

Two numbers explain most of it: acidity (pH) and water activity (aw). Below pH 4.6 or below aw 0.85, the most dangerous bacteria struggle to grow. Tap a food, or test your own product.

Test your own product

Values are typical approximations for illustration. Real shelf-life decisions need testing of your specific product, process and packaging. That is exactly what FoodCore does.

    A clear report of risks and missing pieces, ranked by what matters most.

  3. Build

    Plans, specs, labels or formulations, written for how your team really works.

  4. Train & implement

    On-site training so the system lives in daily habits, not in a binder.

About Joseph

A food scientist who speaks kitchen.

Joseph comes from food science and technology. He works where the lab meets the line: the chemistry of ingredients, the microbiology of spoilage, and the practical reality of a busy service or a full production shift.

FoodCore is how he helps businesses build quality and safety into their products. Food With Joseph is how he helps everyone else understand what they eat. Same science, two audiences.
