Label Attendant

Stir Foods•Fullerton, CA

8d•$0 - $20•Onsite

About The Position

The Label Attendant is responsible for receiving, storing, and issuing labels, neck bands, and tubing to support production runs. This role verifies incoming shipments against purchase orders, restocks returned labels in their assigned bins, and performs regular cycle counts to help maintain inventory accuracy. Stir Foods employees are committed to safety and quality. We adhere to, promote, and improve quality and safety policies and practices within the department and throughout the facility. Safety and quality are at the forefront of our culture. Verify that the label version pulled matches the current, approved specification/BOM for that production run before issuing it to the line. Confirm allergen declarations on each label match the actual product formulation, and physically segregate allergen-specific labels from non-allergen labels to prevent mix-ups. Immediately quarantine and report any obsolete, damaged, mismatched, or suspect labels to QA/Purchasing rather than issuing them, and hold them for proper disposition. Support the label change-control process, including pulling and documenting destruction of obsolete labels when a spec or formulation changes. Maintain lot-level traceability linking label lots to production lots to support recall readiness and mock recall exercises. Verify net weight, nutritional panel, and country-of-origin information on labels for accuracy before release, in line with FDA/Fair Packaging and Labeling requirements. Follow FIFO (first-expired, first-out) rotation for label stock to avoid using outdated inventory. Confirm labels match customer-specific requirements and branding specs for private-label/co-pack customers before issuing to production. Support internal and third-party audits (SQF, BRC, customer audits) by keeping label inventory, documentation, and storage areas audit-ready at all times. Report barcode/UPC or print quality issues (smudging, misprints, scan failures) to Purchasing or the label vendor. Follow GMPs specific to the label room/production floor, including hairnets, no jewelry, and no food or drink in labeling areas.
