  • Wasteful Chit chat among experts

    “it’s good to educate the public about food safety.”

    After an episode on Salmonella, I wasted time. Go to Wikipedia for an education instead of this podcast. This is the second podcast on food protection by experts that just waste the listener‘s time.

    I hope there is one by someone who knows how to put a program together and how to interview experts.

    Why should I subscribe to a magazine when the speakers waste my time, and there is much on the internet.

  • High Quality Professional Development

    As a relatively junior food safety professional, this podcast has been the professional development I needed and previously would not have had access to. I love listening to the speakers, they are my mentors without me ever having met them. Their insights help me to grow both technically and personally into the food safety professional I want to be.

  • Thank you, FSM Team!

    What a valuable resource this podcast is. I appreciate the deep library of past episodes. Since my background is in other areas of the food industry, I don’t have a large professional network specific to food safety/food manufacturing. The conversations on this podcast is a great supplement and is awesome for exposing me to new concepts.
