In this insightful interview, food policy expert Dr. Darin Detwiler speaks with Dr. Vijay Laxmi (Director of Information Security at Iron Mountain) about how data protection laws like the GDPR are influencing food safety and public health worldwide.
Dr. Laxmi shares her research on Saudi Arabia’s efforts to expand GDPR frameworks into non-oil sectors (including food) as part of their Vision 2030. Together, they explore the growing intersection between data governance, traceability, and safe food systems.
From FSMA and HACCP to GDPR and SDGs, the world of food safety is evolving. Stay informed and stay safe.
