At North American Food Safety & Quality 2023 we sat down with Amit Jagirdar, the Director of Quality and Food Safety for Bunge, to talk about Food Safety Culture, one of the most vital parts of every FSQ professional's working life. Amit delivered a case study and hosted a themed lunch discussion on Food Safety Culture at NAFS23, and in this interview he shares some of the key takeaways from those conversations, as well as offering advice for anyone and everyone engaging in Food Safety and Food Quality work throughout the value chain between farms and forks. Chief among them? "Whatever you put into Food Safety Culture, you get ten times out." Give this episode a listen!
