Food Safety Matters Podcast Interviews Food Industry Auditing Expert Patricia Wester

October 10, 2017

In this week’s episode of Food Safety Magazine’s Food Safety Matters Podcast, we chat with Patricia Wester, president of PA Wester Consulting. In her firm, Wester utilizes her broad experience in food safety testing and accredited certification auditing to support her food industry client base through the complexities of Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) implementation. In 2017, she launched the Association for Food Safety Auditing Professionals, a 501(C)(3) trade association to provide a platform to support the food safety auditing community. 

You can listen to our Food Safety Matters Podcast any time right here on our website. You can also listen and subscribe via Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Google Play or Android.
