Stacey Brown is a cGMP and SQF Food Safety Auditor at ASI Food Safety with a career in food spanning over 15 years. Stacey has seamlessly transitioned from product development roles with household brands such as Pepperidge Farm, King’s Hawaiian, and Nestle to her current position as a PCQI and HACCP Certified Lead Auditor and food safety consultant.
Stacey is a passionate advocate for food safety and ASI’s go-to mentor for fellow SQF auditors looking to improve their understanding of food safety certification and advance their industry experience. Since she didn’t come from food safety like most auditors, Stacey has a unique view of the challenges for food producers, allowing her the perspective to help organizations solve even the most complex food safety problems. In 2024, Stacey was recognized by the SQF Institute as a finalist for the ‘SQF Auditor of the Year,’ and later took home an Exemplar Global Community Award as an Endorsed Auditor due to her ongoing efforts to foster continuous growth in the world of food safety.
When she’s not helping manufacturers across the country provide the safest possible product to their consumers, Stacey can be found in the kitchen baking her own concoctions or crafting the final pages of her cookbook. When it’s time to re-charge her mental battery, Stacey enjoys binge-watching hockey and spending quality time with family and friends.
