- Accurate weighing, labeling, and pack counts
- Safe lifting, knife/seal use, and line pacing
- Basic quality holds and defect spotting
- Describe a shift where you kept speed and pack quality steady
- Explain how you follow allergen or hygiene rules under time pressure
- Give an example of catching a labeling or weight error early
