Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Quincy Lissaur of SSAFE
Q: Why is global harmonization and data interoperability important?
Because food systems are global, different jurisdictions have varied regulations; harmonization and interoperable data make it feasible to trace products across borders quickly, coordinate recalls, and protect consumers, while still accommodating local risk appetites and regulatory realities.
Quincy Lissaur of SSAFE
Q: What exactly does Ssafe do?
Ssafe focuses on identifying new and emerging food-safety issues and facilitates dialogue among private sector companies, governments, intergovernmental organizations, academia, and NGOs to resolve them. They also provide practical tools, like a free vulnerability-assessment questionnaire, to help organizations implement mitigation plans.
Ashley Hammond of Hershey Entertainment
Q: What do you do and who are you with?
Ashley describes herself as Assistant Manager of Food Safety at the Hershey Entertainment Complex, covering Hershey Park, Giant Center, and related venues.
Ashley Hammond of Hershey Entertainment
Q: And this is your first time? (as you introduce Ashley)
Ashley explains her role and how she moved from park operations into a dedicated food safety position, highlighting the Hershey complex she supports.
Knala Keith of Del Taco
Q: How does Del Taco ensure the food being served is safe and fresh given the emphasis on made-to-order preparation?
We rely on strict temperature checks throughout the day, use dedicated food safety tools, and ensure nothing is prepared before the order is placed, which keeps freshness high and safety consistent across all stores.
