Blount Fine Foods has appointed Todd Brown to the newly-created position of VP of food safety and quality.
Brown has an extensive background in quality assurance across both retail and foodservice production and development. For the last three years, he has been consulting for large corporations on food quality systems development, implementation and management, as well as food safety, crisis management and supplier quality development. Prior to that, he spend 10 years at Groupe Danone as VP of quality and food safety for North America and 25 years in quality and safety at The Pillsbury Company facilities around the country.
“Blount Fine Foods’ continued expansion of products and distribution has created the opportunity for us to add the position of VP of food safety and quality assurance to the executive management team, and fill it with Todd Brown, a respected and accomplished industry leader,” said Todd Blount, CEO and president. “This is a proactive step intended to enhance and advance Blount’s industry leading commitment to food quality and safety.
“As Blount has grown from a few dozen SKUs in a category or two, to more than 1,000 SKUs across more than a dozen product categories, we have added many safety and quality processes and protocols, which will not be overseen and enhanced by a well-respected senior executive reporting directly to me.”
