Inside Food Safety Ep. 1: What Kitchens Get Wrong
5/4/202631 min
Inside Food Safety is a recurring monthly segment on the Walk-In Talk Podcast.
This is the first one.
The inaugural episode of our Inside Food Safety segment, and it starts with a conversation every kitchen needs to hear.
Eric Moore joins us, food safety expert with Testo North America, bringing real-world insight into what food safety actually looks like in practice. Not theory, not checklists, but the daily decisions that protect your team, your product, and the people you serve.
Because food safety isn't something you turn on when it's convenient. It's built into how you operate, every shift, every station, every plate.
We get into where kitchens slip, how small habits turn into major risks, and why consistency matters more than intention. From temperature control to cross-contamination, this is about tightening the gaps most people don't even realize are there.
This segment is about awareness, accountability, and raising the standard across the industry.
And this is where it begins.

Today we're learning something new. We're diving into food safety, but not in the way you've heard it before. This isn't a class, this isn't a checklist, and this definitely isn't a lecture. This is real conversation about what actually happens between the farm, the kitchen, and your plate. I've spent 25 years in this industry, and I can tell you, food safety is one of those things everyone says they care about until something goes wrong. And when it does, it's not theoretical anymore. It's real, and it hits hard. So we're building something here, a series of conversations that break this down in a way that actually makes sense with people who live it every day. This segment is brought to you by Testo North America. You'll start to see where tools, data, and real-world application fit into all of this without forcing it. Today's the starting point, the wake-up call, why food safety actually matters. I'm your host, Carl Fiodini, along with Eric Moore from Testo North America. Let's get into it. Eric, my man, welcome to the program.
