Food Safety Consultant Resume
Canned goods or frozen food that we purchase from store has to go through various processes from manufacturing to packaging. It is possible that the food may get contaminated during any one of the process. In that case, eating such food may possibly land consumers to hospital and spoil the reputation of the company. The manufacturer will also have to face legal action. To avoid all such possibilities, companies hire food safety consultants. These consultants monitor every single process carefully and provide suggestion in storing and packaging to increase the shelve life of goods and maintain their nutritional value. They are called by canned food manufacturing companies and public agencies to conduct safety audits. If complaints against certain food are lodged, they test the product in the lab and give their opinion.
