Closing the Food Safety Information Gap: Building a Smarter Way to Protect Families with Jordan Robinson
What if you could know about a food recall before it became a headline you saw days too late ? In this episode, we sit down with Jordan Robinson , creator of Anxin , to explore the broken system behind food safety information and how technology can help families make safer, more informed decisions about what they eat. Jordan built Anxin around a simple problem: there can be a significant gap between a food recall being issued and consumers actually finding out about it. The platform brings multiple pieces of food safety information together, including receipt scanning, home inventory tracking, FDA recall monitoring, restaurant health scores, and medication interaction alerts . We explore why existing food safety apps often solve only one part of the problem and what it takes to build a platform that families can actually use as part of their everyday lives. The conversation also dives into the growing problem of food safety misinformation —from old recalls resurfacing as if they're new to foreign recalls being mistaken for domestic ones—and how misinformation can create unnecessary panic instead of meaningful protection. Jordan also shares the thinking behind building Anxin and the bigger question at the heart of the product: How can technology turn important safety information into something people can actually act on? If you're interested in food safety, consumer technology, product design, entrepreneurship, misinformation, AI, or building technology around real-world problems , this episode offers a fascinating look at how one founder is tackling a problem that affects virtually everyone. Food safety information only protects people when it reaches them at the right time—and in a way they can actually use. #JordanRobinson #Anxin #FoodSafety #FoodRecalls #ConsumerTechnology #ProductDesign #Entrepreneurship #FoodTech #HealthTech #Technology #Misinformation #ConsumerSafety #Innovation #ProductDevelopment #AI #FoodSafetyTechnology #Startup #DigitalProducts #FamilySafety #Podcast #DesignWave
