Food Quality Managers ensure food products are safe, meet standards, and comply with regulations by overseeing quality assurance (QA) teams, managing processes, conducting audits, and implementing improvement plans in food production facilities.

They focus on everything from raw ingredients to final product, ensuring consistency, checking for contaminants (like E.coli), training staff, and handling documentation for traceability, all while minimizing recalls and building customer trust.
