Job Summary
|
Food
safety involves appropriate management of microbial organisms as well as
chemical agents. Chemical agents include naturally occurring compounds such
as allergens and mycotoxins or may artificially enter the food supply
through a variety of mechanism including leaching from food contact
materials, as pesticides or drugs used during growth of the food or as
contaminants. The science of Chemical Food Safety is evolving as analytical
techniques allow the detection of chemicals at ever lower concentrations.
Furthermore, the increasingly global supply of food ingredients and range
of international food standards and regulations contribute to the variety
of findings.
The Chemical Food Safety Intern will have the opportunity to contribute to
the research, regulatory and quality groups as an integral member of the
team that proactively addresses any food chemical issue that may arise. The
Chemical Food Safety Intern will work with the ConAgra Director of
Toxicology as well as members of the Regulatory, Nutrition and Scientific
Affairs teams. He or she will be mentored and receive training while
gaining insight into industry.
The Chemical Food Safety and Toxicology Intern should be an independent,
self-starter capable of working in a collaborative environment demonstrated
by sharing ideas, opinions and expertise. Excellent verbal and written
skills are a plus.
