The daily tasks of a QA Analyst include performing routine chemical analysis, collecting samples and coordinating corrective actions to ensure food safety and production quality. This is done by following the procedures and standards of the Nestle Quality Procedure Policy, performing daily records review and product analysis. Physical and chemical analysis of raw materials, in-process and finished product is preformed as quality checks to ensure all ingredients and products meet specifications. Analysts also play a key role in product formulation; the use of raw material analytical data to create optimized least-cost dry pet food recipes/batching formulas and arranging acceptable ingredients substitutions when normal formulation cannot be followed. The is facilitated by communicating with production teams to maintain all regulatory requirements, ensuring equipment is functioning correctly and finished product meets package guarantees.Skilled in HACCP method of food safety, analysis of raw materials using NIR (FOSS) & FT-NIR (Tango Bruker) Spectroscopy, protein determination by combustion using LECO Protein Analyzer, determination of water activity using AquaLab Water Activity Meter, determination of pH and total acidity and the evaluation of Air Oven Moisture content. Knowledge of techniques such as; the analysis of mycotoxins in raw ingredients using ELISA.
