I’ve had the opportunity to become familiar with different food matrixes and processes including Beef, pork, poultry, RTE meats and possess extensive knowledge of USDA-FSIS and FDA regulations and requirements for the production of safe food products. Moreover, since 2013 I have provided consulting services to food industry companies and/or law firms on several topics related to food science, safety, shelf life, HACCP, process control, microbiology, SSOPs, food production or providing and conducting studies to validate the safety of the processes conducted and to train personnel on food safety practices, including handling, storage, temperature control, safety practices, cooking/lethality studies and hazard analysis and critical control points that can be implemented in restaurants and food processing plants
