Jenn Brusco, TraceGains’ Marketing Specialist commented, “The vast SKU proliferation much discussed in the past year has yielded more than a million new food products in assorted sizes, shapes, colors, packaging configurations, and each has introduce another opportunity to contaminate food safety. The result of all these permutations is the demand of food safety experts with a knowledge of food safety and quality regulatory demands introduced by FSMA (Food Safety Modernization Act).”

Brusco explained qualities needed for food safety experts include:

·         Leadership. Most candidates are asked to lead the quality assurance and food safety programs of the entire organization.

·         Compliance. Candidates need to develop and implement audit schedule across a corporate QA department, often assigned by company-owned and co-packer food and support to personal care facilities, including dietary supplements, over-the-counter (OTC) and drugs to assure compliance with Quality and Safety Systems Programs, as required based on risk assessment.

·         Communication and Beyond. Often part of the lean manufacturing leadership team, QA Managers are expected to maintain and communicate updated Quality and Food Safety Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).

·         Continuous Improvement & Brand Maintenance. The reputation and image of the brand has never been more reliant on Food Quality leadership.
