Hello! I’m Maria Inês Cerveira Bandarra, a food engineer with hands-on experience in HACCP, IFS, and production hygiene. I’m passionate about turning rigorous safety standards and nutrition insights into real-world improvements that keep people safe and products high quality.
Beyond the lab and the line, I enjoy creating engaging content that explains science and food safety. I’ve built UGC and Creator content for social channels and campaigns, and I love collaborating across diverse teams, including international settings through experiences like Erasmus in Poland and work in the Netherlands.
