Quality & Food Safety Scientist
Professional to senior professional: the food-safety and microbiology expert inside R&D who designs safety into products and processes
Builds food safety and quality into new products and processes before they reach the factory: hazard analysis and HACCP plans for new products and technologies, food-safety and microbiological parameters in ingredient and finished-product specifications, challenge and shelf-life studies, process validation, and the quality voice on innovation project teams. Success is judged on launches with no food-safety surprise at the plant or in market, specifications and HACCP plans that pass audit, and risks quantified early enough to change the design rather than the launch date.
