TruFoodMfg’s Post

Recently while I worked with a food company in one of their product lines, I observed a deviation in one of their packing lines. Unfortunately, no quality assurance personnel was there - only the production and maintenance team were. So, I called their attention to it. To my heartbreak they told me it wasn't part of their JD, that it is the QA's. Therefore, because the concerned team wasn't there, they can't stop the machine and make the necessary corrections. And really, that was one of the loudest observations I made while I toured the factory - the QA / QC teams were almost absent on the production floor. The rest of the story is history (or maybe I will tell you another time). However at that moment I remembered what one of my line Managers used to tell us (the QA team) many years ago: "The job of the QA executive is not to sit in the office. Your office is the production floor. You only come to the office when it is necessary or during your break. You must register your presence on the floor!" Honestly, a lot of us didn't understand him then. However, over time in my journey as a Quality Assurance and Food Safety Professional I agreed he was right. How can you really "assure" a process without following through it (especially in systems that are not yet self running)? On the other hand, there is a call for better orientation and regenerated mindset for food handlers. When it comes to food safety, there's nothing like, "it's the QA / QC job". Meanwhile, this old picture of mine reminds me of the faithfulness of God in my career journey.

Often people ask me "How do I become an auditor?" . First up, have years of work (& life) experience working in the food industry. The more different food industry sectors you have worked in, the more auditing "codes" you will get & your chances of getting a auditing job goes up. No don't think you can be a food safety auditor straight out of uni/college. But do get a degree, ideally food technology, but many standards will accept a range of science degrees. Undertake HACCP (registered & assessed) & food safety training along the way. Then you need to sit a 40hr (5 day) assessed food safety lead auditors course. There are many to choose from. ICS will be delivering (virtually & face to face in Brisbane Aust) the BRCGS Lead Auditor course on Feb 10-14 2025. I would love to see you there. Email me now for details: clare.winkel@integritycompliance.com.au The photo below is me standing on the docks at Dutch Harbour in the Aleutian Islands, Alaska, USA. I had just got off a "Deadliest Catch" Crab boat, after auditing crab processing plants in the Aleutian Islands. There is a worldwide shortage of food safety auditors.
