Maintain full compliance with FDA, USDA, PACA (Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act), and FSMA standards.
Assist with third-party audits such as SQF, PrimusGFS, or GLOBALG.A.P.
Ensure sanitization protocols are strictly followed across all facilities and equipment.

Sales & Team Development

Support the B2B sales team in securing and retaining large retail and foodservice accounts.
Train and mentor department heads across sales, procurement, and warehouse operations.
