SunFed Welcomes Laura Reyes as New Director of Food Safety
RIO RICO, AZ – The folks over at SunFed are excited to bring a new face to the team; Laura Reyes has been hired as the company’s new Director of Food Safety. In light of the newly-implemented Food & Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), Reyes will assist in adhering to the Act’s guidelines.
“As the landscape in which we operate continues to change, we too must change along with it,” said Matt Mandel, Vice President of Operations, in a recent press release. “In order to ensure that SunFed is positioned as the leader in not only quality, but also food safety, I am proud to announce the addition of Laura to our team. While the responsibility of food safety has always lived within SunFed’s DNA, our continual growth and expansion necessitated that the roles and responsibilities be concentrated into a single, highly-qualified and capable individual.”
Laura’s experience includes her recent role at PrimusLabs, and her expertise boasts of food safety science training and up-to-date knowledge on upcoming auditing schemes. From regulations and compliance knowledge to on-the-job daily implementation of these requirements, Reyes’s experience is expansive and makes her a great asset for SunFed’s food safety culture, which establishes vigilance and compliance at every corner.
“Laura brings a wealth of experience including technical expertise in food safety and post-harvest practices. While SunFed has always held itself to an incredibly high standard, as we continue to grow, Laura will be able to help us guide the ship with a broader perspective of the landscape and allow us to be more pro-active to changes in food safety laws and regulations,” Matt continued.
In her role, Reyes will work with SunFed’s territory managers in Mexico, monitoring the supply chain for compliance best practices in its entirety and looking for ways to improve when possible. She will also train and aid food safety specialists at the company’s growing/packing locations, as well as ensure auditing operations are completed on-time to keep valid certifications at all times.
From all of us at AndNowUKnow, congratulations, Laura and the SunFed team! We wish you every success moving forward with this exciting new addition to the company!
