New Member - USA, California_Confectionery Industry
Hello,
I am new to this forum and wanted to introduce myself.
My name is Lisa, and I work in a small candy factory. We make mostly handmade items with limited forms of automation (auto baggers, mold injection). We currently are BRC certifiied but it has been challenging considering we are a small family owned business with old habits. With the business we have acquired, it has become mandatory that we remain certified to a GFSI standard.
The extent of my education consists of google searches, skimming the FDA website, as well as reviewing some standards like BRC and TESCO. However, i feel I have learned the most from others in the food safety field that have been generous, king and patient enough to share their knowledge and expertise with me.
I am thrilled that I have found this forum and hope to learn tons from others in the forum. I will apologize in advance if some of my questions are amateur as I am still, and will always be in the learning process.
Great to be here, and i look forward to interacting with you all.
Thank You,
Lisa

Hello Lisa!
I work for a small Gourmet Chocolate Company here on the East Coast so and we're in the process of pursuing SQF Level 2 Certification so I'm sure we'll have plenty to talk about at some point.
All The Best,
Jeff
