NSF Names Director of Product Certification

NSF has promoted Samuel Cole to director of product certification for equipment and chemical evaluation in its global food division.

In his new role, Cole will lead NSF’s nonfood certification and evaluation teams, which prevent foodborne illness by certifying and registering commercial and processing foodservice equipment, food contact materials and nonfood compounds.

Cole joined NSF’s product certification team in 2015. “His wealth of knowledge in the certification process and industry regulations has served clients around the globe, helping to support NSF’s offerings to the food industry in the areas of food contact materials and food equipment,” says the company in a statement.

Cole holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Michigan State University.
