Jeni’s hires Food Safety Director following listeria outbreak
Following last year’s outbreak of listeria in Jeni’s Ice Cream and the subsequent “voluntary recall” of all Jeni’s products, the Columbus-born ice cream parlor has hired a Food Safety Director.
Cynthia Decker, Ph.D., has over 20 years experience in food safety and quality monitoring programs, in addition to microbiology experience with Ross Laboratories and Scotts Miracle-Gro, according to a blog post written by Jeni’s founder Jeni Britton Bauer.
