Product Quality & Safety
Job Description
Throughout the production process, several hazards exist that
are likely to render the product out of specification. These are biological,
physical (temperature, humidity) or chemical in nature. As such, We needs to
analyze the hazards present and develop critical controls to: (1)
minimize/eliminate effects of the hazards and (2) prevent recurrence of deviations.
This is through development of a HACCP plan anchored on food safety standards
(ISO 22001) as well as IPIFF guidelines on insect based feed production.
To adequately lead and facilitate the above study, an experienced
consultant with a food product quality and safety background is required. The consultant will work with the existing Product/Process

the full scale product range.

Review gaps between planned
prerequisite programs and global benchmarks on HACCP guidelines. Thereafter,
recommend relevant changes within the following focus areas: (a)
facilities/equipment, (b) suppliers, (c) material specification, (d) cleaning
and sanitation, (e) chemical control, (f) material handling/storage and (g)
pest control.
·
Identify and categorize hazards
affecting product quality and safety from a material flow perspective. This
cuts across feedstock pre-processing, production, post processing and storage
of the finished products. Thereafter, implement critical control points
designed to mitigate the effects of the prevailing hazards as well as prevent
future occurrences.
·
Develop product quality and design

control implementation.
