  • Oversee label compliance for both Canadian and US markets (nutritional facts, ingredient decks, and allergens).

2. SQF System Management

  • Maintain and update the SQF Level II system, ensuring all registers, SOPs, and policies are audit ready.
  • Lead the internal audit program; identify non-conformances and implement Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA).
  • Assist in annual third-party SQF recertification audits.

3. Operational Quality Control (QC)

  • Oversee the HACCP plan, specifically monitoring Critical Control Points (CCPs) for heat-treated, animal-based entrees (cooking temperatures and cooling logs).
  • Conduct pre-operational inspections (swabbing and visual checks) to ensure sanitation standards are met before production begins.
  • Manage the hold-and-release program for finished goods.
  • Oversee the environmental monitoring program (Listeria/Salmonella swabbing) and allergen control program.

Qualifications & Requirements

  • Education: Bachelor's degree or Diploma in Food Science, Microbiology, or a related technical discipline.
  • Experience: 3+ years of QA/QC experience in a food manufacturing environment. Experience with meat/poultry or thermal processing (sauces/soups) is highly preferred.
  • Regulatory Knowledge:
  • Strong working knowledge of CFIA regulations and the SFCR.
  • Familiarity with USDA/FSIS import requirements for meat products.
  • Knowledge of FSMA (PCQI) is a strong asset.
  • Certifications:
  • HACCP Certification (Required).
  • SQF Practitioner or implementation experience (Required).
  • PCQI (Preventive Controls Qualified Individual) (Preferred).
  • Skills: Strong attention to detail, ability to stand ground on safety decisions, and proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel/Word).

  • Direct impact on product quality and export expansion.
