I am a Microbiologist, and Food Safety Expert. Food is medicine, hence, I am passionate about ensuring safe, and quality food (and food products) are distributed in the food chain.
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.

We got a 99 on our most recent food safety audit! It was such a good feeling. You know what was an even better feeling? DM'ing Nate Call, CMQ/OE halfway through the audit to let him know that I forgot to plan lunch for the auditor 😬 😂 Eighteen months ago, we had our first ever audit. It went well and there was definitely lots of room for learning and improvement. Fast forward to 2024, there is still room for improvement. However, it doesn't seem as daunting as it once did. What I've learned through interacting with auditors (and by following the Qualitas Executive Group updates) is: 1. Quality is everyone's responsibility. If you make it part of your company culture and get everyone involved, then it's much easier to look at audits as exciting opportunities to learn. 2. Auditors, generally, want small businesses to succeed. The feedback they give is to keep your customers and teams safe. Treat them like an invaluable extension of your team, offering feedback and support. #SARJESA #manufacturingexcellence #qualitymatters

FSSAI certified JUNIOR FOOD ANALYST | Microbiologist in ISO 17025 | Food safety & Quality Management | Food safety Inspection | Hygiene | Lean thinking practitioner
𝑫𝒂𝒚-1: 𝑨𝒖𝒅𝒊𝒕 𝑨𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒅 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒄𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒊𝒏 𝒇𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒚 The PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) model is the base of any management system. In PDCA model, the stage of "Check" comprises of many important component e.g., Auditing. The certification of a food industry often involves a comprehensive audit process to ensure compliance with food safety standards, regulations, and industry best practices. This is crucial for maintaining food quality, safety, and meeting regulatory requirements. Since Audit activities involve several steps from initiation to completion, I am dividing it into two parts: Pre-audit activities and Onsite Audit activities. 𝑷𝒓𝒆-𝑨𝒖𝒅𝒊𝒕 𝑨𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒔 1. Initiating the Audit ⚫ Appointing the Audit Team Leader: A leader is designated to manage the audit process. In joint audits, responsibilities must be clearly defined to avoid conflicts. ⚫ Defining Objectives, Scope, and Criteria: Objectives detail what the audit aims to achieve, such as assessing conformity to criteria, evaluating management system capabilities, effectiveness, and identifying improvement areas. Scope outlines boundaries, such as locations, units, and activities. Criteria serve as a benchmark for assessing conformity, including policies, standards, regulations, and other requirements. ⚫ Feasibility Assessment: The feasibility of conducting the audit is evaluated, considering factors like the availability of information, cooperation from the auditee, and sufficient time and resources. ⚫Selecting the Audit Team: The team is chosen based on the required competence to meet audit objectives, avoiding conflicts of interest, ensuring independence, and considering effective interaction with the auditee. 2. Conducting Document Review ⚫Initial Understanding of the System: Reviewing relevant documents helps auditors gain an initial understanding of the management system. ⚫Identifies Gaps: Document reviews may reveal gaps in the management system, allowing the auditee to address these issues before the on-site audit, thereby improving compliance and reducing the likelihood of non-conformities. 3.Preparing for On-Site Audit Activities ⚫ Audit Plan Preparation: A comprehensive audit plan is developed covering objectives, criteria, scope, timelines, and logistics. It must ensure the effective use of resources and address confidentiality and follow-up actions if necessary. ⚫Assigning Work to Team Members: Responsibilities are allocated according to the team's competence and audit requirements. ⚫Preparing Work Documents: Auditors prepare checklists, sampling plans, and forms for recording audit findings. These documents facilitate consistent data collection and evaluation during the on-site audit. To be continued.... #Audit #Foodindustry #Compliance #Qualitymanagementsystem

Is it more beneficial to become a food auditor directly after graduation, or to gain 4-5 years of industry experience before pursuing a career as a food auditor? My perspective... Both paths have their benefits, but gaining 4-5 years of industry experience before becoming a food auditor is generally considered more advantageous for the following reasons: 1. Practical Experience: Working in the food industry allows you to gain hands-on experience with food safety standards, quality control processes, and industry regulations. This real-world experience can enhance your auditing skills, making you more effective and credible as an auditor. 2. Industry Knowledge: A few years of experience can give you deep insights into the practical challenges companies face, which you can address during audits. You will be more aware of the nuances and details specific to different types of food production environments. 3. Professional Network: Working in the industry allows you to build a network of contacts and relationships, which can be valuable when conducting audits. It may also open up more job opportunities later. 4. Higher Salary and Seniority: Individuals with more experience typically start with higher salaries and in more senior roles compared to those entering auditing right after graduation. On the other hand, becoming a food auditor directly after graduation can offer the following benefits: 1. Early Start: You can begin your career earlier, which might give you a head start in progressing up the ranks of food auditing. 2. Focused Training: If you enter the field directly, you can focus your learning and development solely on auditing without spending time in unrelated areas of the food industry. Overall, gaining industry experience before becoming a food auditor is often seen as more beneficial for long-term career success. It helps you develop a stronger understanding of the field and improves your credibility as an auditor. What is your perspective?
