"We feel very fortunate to have Wensi Yeung taking care of all our CFIA requirements. She simply takes over the file, does her work and is in contact with CFIA as well as our business. It has made it so much easier. Doing the kind of work she does would not be easy for us because we are not familiar enough with such applications and renewals. We simply have other things to do where we are good at. (and that we love to do)"

About
Hello!
I’m Wentsi Y., founder of Blue Aster Consulting. While running my craft kombucha business, Culture Kombucha (acquired 2024), I found myself supporting other food businesses by assisting with licensing, reviewing product labels, and ensuring compliance documentation was in order. With a background in biotech and pharma, I bring both scientific rigor and real-world perspective to every project.
​
Now, with a decade of experience, I’m turning that into something more intentional. Blue Aster Consulting is my way of offering that same trusted guidance to more people in the food space, because you deserve support that’s clear, approachable, and grounded in real-world experience. I’m here to help you cut through the confusion so you can focus on what matters most: making great food and growing your business.
