Grace Hagenmaier: Bridging Feed and Food Industries | Ep. 05

There are very few professionals in the world of feed science who have crossed the divide between the feed and food industries. In this episode, I talk with Grace Hagenmaier, about her transition from working with animal feed to working with human food. Drawing from her experience, she discusses several similarities and differences between both manufacturing industries, particularly in the areas of quality assurance and regulatory compliance.

“If we're doing something right in the human food side, we need to follow that through with the animal feed side as well." - Grace Hagenmaier
