  • Assist in developing criteria for quality classification and risk assessment.
  • Collaborate with quality and R&D teams to interpret findings and recommend improvements.
  • Contribute to standardization efforts across facilities.
  • Prepare reports and visual summaries of data and insights.

Supported by a commendable 4.5 Glassdoor rating and 94% intern recommendation score, we pledge to provide you with a unique learning journey as part of our R&D Food Quality team, where you'll gain valuable insights into how to use scientific basis to develop quality and food safety protocols and develop skills in liaising with other experts in food safety from JDEP’s organisation.
