From Farm to Fork: Mastering Safety, Quality & Daily USDA Oversight

In this episode of Compliance in Motion, host Tony DeAscentis, CEO and co-founder of Ving, sits down with Dennis Adams, Quality Assurance Manager at Carlton Farms in Carlton, Oregon. From daily USDA inspections to humane animal handling and knife safety on the fabrication floor, Dennis walks us through how his team keeps products safe, workers protected, and customers confident—from farm to fork. Drawing on nearly 24 years as a U.S. Army food inspector, plus over a decade in civilian food production, Dennis shares how Carlton Farms goes beyond minimum standards with GFSI certification, HACCP rigor, and a culture of accountability. You’ll also hear how a “pen and paper” data system is reaching its limits—and why digital tools and automation are the next frontier for small and mid-sized processors. 👍 Like, subscribe, and share to help more teams work safely.
