What is a food safety manager?

As a food safety manager, you are the quality control manager for the food your employees produce. Your primary responsibilities are to make sure food from your facility meets health and safety standards and that your employees follow all food safety procedures. Your job duties include overseeing the production and packaging of food, inspecting storage and holding areas, ensuring workers comply with health and safety rules, and reporting issues to plant or facility managers. Food safety managers work in food processing plants, schools, hospitals, and other large-scale food operations.
