Women In Food Safety

We would like to hear from you!

To support women professionals in the food safety industry, The Women in Food Safety Group will be hosting a "We Asked, You Answered- The Voice of Women In Food Safety" panel session at The Food Safety Consortium on November 5th kindly sponsored by Glanbia and CMX.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could take 5 minutes to answer this survey to let us know some details of how you've navigated your career in food safety and share some industry work experiences and feelings on various situations.  This survey results will be shared and discussed by food safety women-leaders (Cindy Jiang - McDonald's, Lisa Robinson - Ecolab, and Allison Jennings - Amazon) during our panel session on November 5th. We welcome and need your support to shape the future together!
