Portland, Oregon based Food safety startup for farmers, processors, transporters, and purveyors of fresh food. Formerly of Kroger Food Safety Research and Development.

Thanks to those that have purchased the book so far! The royalties from this book will help offset the costs of running this Food Safety startup, but only if a lot of people buy it. I don’t have kids, so consider this my asking you to buy Girl Scout cookies or whatever Boy Scouts sell… popcorn? 😉

Hello everyone. My name is Walt Moorhouse and I am the owner of this company. I also was until recently involved in R&D around AI usage in retail. I wrote a book about why you should NOT go “AI Native”. It explains the downsides of AI and looks at “Ethical AI.” Enjoy! www.amazon.com/dp/B0HH2T3D49

If you want to actually know what you’re talking about when arguing with AI Bros online, this is your ammunition. Everything you need to know to logically dismantle any argument about AI inevitability or how AI can replace people. $3 so that you don’t look uniformed while discussing AI is a steal!

Our system lets consumers scan a barcode that shows the origin of the beef and every processor it passed through before getting to you, in addition to information about the animal itself and how it was cared for. US Grocers refuse to use it because they do not want you to know! Adopt us, Canada!

This Ontario man thought he bought Canadian beef at Costco. Then he saw the label in the back - Randy Thompson of Gravenhurst, Ont., stopped at a Costco in Orillia this week to pick up some Canadian beef. Instead, he unintentionally bought beef from the United States.

It is very discouraging to keep being told by food purveyors that they are “not interested” in a system that would help prevent food borne illnesses during a time when every single day there is a new story about food safety issues. Especially considering we offered it free to some of them. 🤷‍♂️

This. I offered to provide *free* food safety monitoring to three local food companies today. They all said they were “not interested” in tools to prevent their customers from getting sick and dying. They do not care about you, only money. Food used to be able connecting people, but no longer.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

Very discouraged today. I had meetings with several well know local Portland food businesses this morning. I offered to give them 100% FREE access to our system and $3000 in free hardware. One said “we don’t have monitor food safety because we are small so we don’t care.” All of them turned me down.

When I started building this platform, (a multi-year journey) I wanted it to become the “TurboTax of FSMA” where farmers and small businesses didn’t need to read and understand hundreds of pages of laws, they just had to answer some questions and enter data (or preferably use our sensors) to comply.

"Rena" sent this from Moses Lake WA where she is weeding carrots for a non-union company. She shared: The air is bad. See my cell phone. The AQI is 166, which is unhealthy. We start at 4am. We'll work 7-8 hrs & earn minimum wage. #WeFeedYou

Dear Canadians, our system not only supports FDA regulatory compliance but FSIS as well. We ingest all US and Canadian food recall data so we have the latest recall information as it is released. If using our inventory system you will automatically be notified of recalls that affect your inventory!

Don't be smug about food-borne outbreaks in the US, Canada. Carney is gutting our capacity to ensure food safety too. 🧵 www.agrunion.com/jobs-cuts-at...
