Noteworthy quotes from this episode
“ There isn't any topic that is off limits as far as [GFSR is] concerned because food safety really touches on all corners of the industry. So, right from warehousing to logistics and recalls, the whole gamut. So, we don't focus on quality at all, we focus strictly on food safety.” – Tina Brillinger
