Starting the Conversation

This session moves beyond simple compliance to forge a collaborative partnership for public health in the Magic Valley. Led by top local, state, and national food safety officials—including Josh Jensen, J. Wing, Jarryd Samples, and Patrick Guzzle—the panel will open with a brief overview of the Health District’s efforts to cultivate a safe food environment. With Guzzle’s national experience and active participation in the Conference for Food Protection (CFP), this panel creates a unique opportunity to address food safety from every level. The floor will then open for a moderated dialogue, providing food operators and the public a direct opportunity to share feedback on topics ranging from inspection and plan review processes to information that helps the public make better food-safe choices.
