Hi All!

Hello Everyone!

My name's Nathaniel, and I'm the newly-hired SQF practitioner for a specialty coffee company. Adoption of robust food safety programs in the specialty coffee industry still seems to be fairly rare, but these forums have provided a wealth of useful information as I've gotten this project underway. 

Looking forward to working with and learning from all of you!

Hi Nathaniel :welcome:

Welcome and enjoy this forum!

Hello, Nathaniel! 

Hello and welcome!

Hello, everyone, I am Arthur and new over here and want to open with you all. Instead of creating new topic I think this is the right place to introduce.

Welcome Arthur - there is a forum just for introductions though.

Hi Nathaniel,

I'm also new to this forum and I'm interested in learning if you've been an SQF practitioner prior to your new position with coffee company or if you're new to it all? 

Thank you,

Kristin

Hi Kristin,

I was previously the SQF practitioner at a kombucha company and a QA/QC Specialist at a coffee company, but this is my first time pursuing SQF certification for a coffee company. Do you work in coffee as well?

Hey Nathaniel,

Sometimes ;) I currently work as a regulatory authority and I have a couple of local coffee companies that manufacture for wholesale and retail, so I inspect them for compliance with either retail or manufactured food regulations. I've been in the regulatory field for 13 years and I'm interested in broadening my horizons a bit and perhaps getting into the industry side of food safety. I've just started gathering information on SQF (from the auditing perspective.)
