NAME:<\/strong> Anna Carrasquillo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YEARS AT CDFA:<\/strong> 7<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PROGRAM:<\/strong> Standardization<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TITLE:<\/strong> Fruits & Vegetables QC Supervisor II<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW DO YOU WORK FOR THE CALIFORNIA FOOD SUPPLY?<\/strong> As part of the Standardization team, I work inspecting fresh fruits and vegetables by preventing any substandard product reaching any channels of commerce and protecting the nation\u2019s food chain.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

USUAL DAILY ACTIVITIES ON THE JOB?<\/strong> As a supervisor, I train and assist county personnel with inspections on the different commodities we inspect. I also perform inspections at production, packing houses, wholesale and ports of entry by enforcing minimum standards including labeling, maturity and quality compliance. In addition, I answer questions asked by industry or parties interested. I am assigned to oversee the Southern California area, but on occasions you can find me working in the Central and Northern California areas.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

THOUGHTS OF WORKING AT INSPECTION SERVICES?<\/strong> I really enjoy working for Inspection Services because it has taught me about the process that the food goes through from production to our tables. I never knew how long or involved the process is to ensure compliance.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE?<\/strong> Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars. \u2013 Les Brown<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOMETHING UNIQUE ABOUT YOU?<\/strong> I have a positive outlook on life, I enjoy doing 5Ks and will be doing my first half marathon this year. I love dogs, traveling, movies and hanging out with friends. I am from Puerto Rico and always enjoy being able to visit there and spend time with my family.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
