Meet Idaho's food safety king
Idaho food and dairy processors have largely been spared the customer malaise, corporate financial ruin and bad publicity that come with tainted products. Jeff Kronenberg and his associates aim to keep it that way.
"I've been involved with (out-of-state) companies that have had FDA regulatory actions against them," says Kronenberg, a food safety and processing consultant for 30 years. "I've been involved with tampering incidents. I've been an expert witness. I've been subpoenaed by the FBI. I work mainly on preventing those things from happening in Idaho."
Kronenberg has grown food for himself and has been involved with community gardens and food co-ops. He graduated from Western Washington University in Bellingham with a bachelor's degree in microbiology and received a master's degree in food science from Cornell University.
