D.L. Newslow and HACCP International name Ronald D. Mathis as EVP
He will provide strategic planning and business development for the HACCP International certification and mark in the Americas.
The mark means the equipment or service has been evaluated by a food safety expert and deemed safe for intended use in and around manufacturing environments.
Mathis brings experience with certification systems from companies such as the British Standards Institute (BSI) and SGS North America.
HACCP International clients include 3M, Kimberly Clark and Dyson as clients and the evaluation process is coordinated from North Sydney, Australia.
Clive Withinshaw, president of HACCP International, is overseeing the expansion of the HACCP International certification and mark.
With satellite offices in the UK, Hong Kong, Singapore and the Americas (Orlando, Florida), the Australia-based certification body is expanding.
D.L. Newslow & Associates has also partnered with Rod Wheeler of the Global Food Defense Institute, to offer food defense training and consultation services.
The Food Safety Modernization Act requires all facilities that manufacture, process, pack or hold food intended for consumption in the US perform a site vulnerability assessment and take steps to protect the chain from terrorism and other threats.
The courses, in Orlando, New Orleans and Washington, D.C, cover site vulnerability assessments, writing facility defense plans and training management and workers in food defense.
Wheeler served as a fraud investigator for the attorney general for Ohio and was a homicide and death investigator in the Washington, D.C. Police Department.
