Job description

Food has lost its soul to modern convenience. And with it, has lost the power to nourish, inspire, and connect us. So in 2018, CookUnity was founded as the first-of-its-kind platform that connects the world with the source of truly great food: chefs. Today, CookUnity delivers 35 million meals a year from the industry’s best chefs to homes all over the country. Fresh. Ready-to-eat. And crafted with the passion that nourishes body and soul.

• Identify and assess potential food safety risks in the production process
• Monitor and inspect food production, handling, and storage areas for compliance with food safety standards as per applicable local, provincial, and federal regulations.
