We look forward to working closely with Stacy Atchison who will stay on as publisher, Barbara VanRenterghem, Ph.D., editorial director, and Adam Haas, sales director, who will maintain their mission and continue to offer news, analysis, and in-depth coverage for food safety and quality professionals.”

After many years of partnership, we are energized by the opportunities this acquisition creates, which enable us to expand our reach as we leverage the strength and capabilities of BNP Media,” said Stacy Atchison, publisher, Food Safety Magazine. “The transition for Food Safety Magazine to BNP Media also marks the transition of Bobby and Don Meeker to well-deserved retirement.
