Global Quality & Food Safety Director at Lacan LLC who prevented a potential Class I recall by identifying an undisclosed allergen.

United States
Message

At Lacan LLC, I design and implement quality management systems for food manufacturers, pharmaceutical facilities, and packaging operations. My work includes SQF, BRC, FSSC 22000, HACCP, and FSVP programs across multi-site environments.

I identified an undisclosed allergen and helped prevent a potential Class I recall. I designed a Label Verification SOP and Cross-Functional Approval Process that were adopted company-wide.

I launched an FSVP-compliant frozen product for the U.S. retail market, developing its hazard analysis and cold chain temperature control protocols. Across FDA and USDA RTE plants, I achieved 100% traceability compliance through HACCP/GFSI deployment, process mapping, and documentation control.

At O-I Packaging Solutions, I led quality investigations and technical support across seven states and drove SAP-based complaint tracking and CAPA development across multiple plants. Earlier, at Guittard Chocolate Company, I reduced raw material waste by 20% through process controls, packaging audits, and SQF/FSMA compliance monitoring.
