Who We Are

La Cocina Foods is a rapidly growing, family-owned, Canadian food manufacturing company producing high-quality tortillas and tortilla chips. Our customers have come to expect consistency, safety, and great taste in every bite. Our production environment is fast-paced, team-oriented, and collaborative. Our culture is grounded in humility, hard work, kindness, and understanding.


The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Food Safety & Quality Assurance Manager to lead and elevate our food safety and quality programs. This role is critical to ensuring our products meet regulatory requirements, customer expectations, and our own high internal standards.


You’ll take ownership of our food safety systems, work closely with production, and continue to build a culture where quality is everyone’s responsibility.


What You’ll Do

  • Lead and maintain the company’s HACCP plan and food safety programs
  • Ensure compliance with SFCA, FSMA and SQF food safety standards
  • Oversee quality assurance processes across raw materials, production, and finished goods
  • Manage internal audits and coordinate external audits and inspections
  • Investigate non-conformances and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs)
  • Develop, implement, and monitor SOPs and quality standards
  • Train and coach staff on food safety, sanitation, and quality best practices
  • Partner with production and maintenance teams to drive continuous improvement
  • Maintain documentation and ensure traceability systems are robust and audit-ready
  • Monitor KPIs related to quality, food safety, and customer complaints


What You Bring

  • Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Food Science or equivalent
  • 5+ years of experience in food safety/quality within a food manufacturing environment
  • Strong working knowledge of HACCP, GMPs, SQF and Canadian and U.S. food regulations (SFCA and FSMA)
  • Experience leading audits (internal and external)
  • Proven ability to influence and collaborate across teams, especially production
  • Strong attention to detail with a practical, solutions-focused mindset
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills
  • Initiative and the ability to work independently


Why Join Us

  • Be part of a tight-knit team with an amazingly supportive work culture
  • Opportunity to manage and hone quality systems in a growing company
  • Join a rapidly growing Canadian company where your impact is visible every day
  • Enjoy a workplace that embodies down-to-earth, rural family values
  • Competitive compensation based on experience


How to Apply

Please submit your resume and a brief cover letter to hr@lacocinafoods.ca, outlining your experience in food safety and quality management.


If you’re passionate about food safety, take pride in doing things the right way, and enjoy working closely with operations teams, we’d love to hear from you.
