Ocean Mist Farms has announced the hire of Lisa Fuentes as its new Director of Food Safety and Quality Assurance. Fuentes brings nearly 19 years of experience serving the industry and a wealth of knowledge in food safety and organic quality management, which is highly valued by the team at Ocean Mist Farms.
Fuentes joins the company with past experience at Driscoll’s Inc., Foxy Produce, Green Giant Fresh, River Ranch and Scientific Certification Systems. Ocean Mist Farms says her background within the food safety sector will be instrumental as she spearheads the quality assurance and food safety efforts at the company.
“We are glad to have someone of Lisa’s talent join our team,” said Chris Drew, vice president of operations at Ocean Mist Farms. “Her extensive knowledge of quality management and food integrity makes her a vital addition to our team.”
Fuentes graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Food Service and Technology and a Master’s of Science in Business and Management. Her experience on both sides of the food safety assurance equation—working as an inspector and auditor as well as in the private sector implementing successful food safety programs—gives her a knowledge base from which to lead Ocean Mist Farms’ Food Safety and Quality Assurance team.
“I am happy to join the Ocean Mist Farms family and look forward to this new opportunity with a brand that has a long-standing reputation for integrity and superior food safety standards,” said Fuentes.
