Food Process Workers manufacture and package a wide selection of food items. They may grade, sort, clean, count, move, and package products. The work typically takes place on a fast-moving production line, where frozen and non-frozen foods pass along conveyor belts through stages such as washing, inspecting, sorting, handling, and packaging. The role involves checking and controlling food-production equipment, monitoring instruments such as temperature gauges, and keeping machines clean. Workers clean and sanitize machines, work areas, and common areas. If a production problem occurs, they stop the machine and report the fault to a supervisor or manager. They also ensure the production line has a regular supply of raw materials or components and perform other duties assigned by a supervisor or management. The job requires physical capability for manual labor, including lifting, standing, bending, and reaching. Workers must be able to work continuously for up to four hours in temperature-controlled cold food-processing rooms at 45°F or colder, and to work in freezers while wearing protective gear.
