Description
Jodi speaks with Gena Johnson Bumgarner and Kim Schneider from Tyson Foods.
A
Hi
I'm
Jodie
Russi,
the
host
for
food-for-thought,
and
thanks
for
watching
today,
I'm
joined
by
two
friends
and
colleagues
from
Tyson's
food
and
we're
gonna
talk
a
lot
about
the
protein,
the
local
items
that
we
buy
and
everything
about
school
meals
in
Anne,
Arundel
County
welcome
to
food
for
thought.
Thanks
Lou
hi,
I'm
Kim.
Can
you
share
with
the
viewers
a
little
bit
about
yourself,
your
name?
What
you
do?
What
do
you
do
at
Tyson?
Anything
that
the
viewers
would
like
to
know
yeah.
B
So
I'm
Kim
Schneider
been
with
Tyson
for
a
little
bit
over
seven
years.
I
am
the
k-12
regional
from
mid-atlantic
I,
actually
pretty
much.
Consider
myself
local
as
well.
I
live
right
outside
of
Philly
I've
been
there
my
whole
life
and
I've
been
in
k-12
for
about
20
years
and
I,
absolutely
love
serving
kids,
perfect
and.
C
Gina
yes,
I'm
Gina,
Johnson,
Bumgarner,
I'm,
based
out
of
our
corporate
office
in
Springdale,
Arkansas
and
I
lead
our
k-12
sales
and
marketing
team.
So
I
have
a
team
across
the
entire
United
States
that
works
directly
with
school
districts,
like
you
guys
here,
an
Anne
Arundel
to
deliver
those
options
and
offerings
that
kids
desire
and
crave
every
single
day.
Yeah.
A
And
I
think
the
relationship
that
we
have
yeah
I
think
it's
gonna
be
evident
as
soon
as
you
know,
somebody
watching
right
now,
they're
just
gonna,
see
the
excitement,
the
energy
that
we
have
and
what
Tyson
does
for
the
students
in
Anne
Arundel
County,
along
with
us
in
Anne,
Arundel
County
and
the
school
food
service,
is
amazing
and
I.
Think
both
of
us
never
lose
sight
of
our
kids
and
that's
what's
so
important.
Absolutely
so,
let's
start
a
little
bit.
A
I
know
we're
gonna
talk
a
lot
about
what
we
do
in
and
around
the
county.
But
what
I
mean
everybody
knows
Tyson
right,
Tyson
is
such
a
name.
It's
a
name
at
home.
It's
a
name
in
schools.
Tell
us
a
little
bit
about
Tyson.
You
know
maybe
on
a
bigger
picture,
so
somebody
who
might
say
I,
don't
know
I
heard
about
them,
but
I'm
not
really
sure,
absolutely
I'm
a
little
snapshot
of
what
you
are
yeah.
C
So
Tyson
began
back
in
1935
when
John
Tyson
Hall
chickens
to
Chicago.
So
this
was
during
the
time
when
chickens
was
not
included
in
the
overall
food
rationing
and
really
started
his
business
there,
which
he
named
Tyson
feed-in
hatchery
and
from
there
he
grew
with
his
family.
So
we're
now
three
generations
of
leadership
and
actually
had
the
fourth
come
in
last
year.
Who
leads
our
sustainability
teams
you're,
looking
at
four
generations
of
Tyson
family
members
leading
our
company
to
supply
protein
globally
to
all
consumers.
C
C
So
that's
when
things
like
chicken
patties
came
to
fruition,
that's
when
chicken
nuggets
your
chicken
drumstick
and
things
like
that.
Based
on
that
consumer
preference
and
through
our
relationship,
we
started
to
identify
those
items
that
that
kids
desire
and
that
work
for
you
guys
back-of-house.
So
it's
been
a
long
relationship
as
well
as
a
relationship
with
USDA
to
consistently
and
constantly
evolve
our
our
programs
to
shift
the
needs
of
you
guys
from
a
food
service
operation
as
well
as
to
to
meet
the
needs
of
parents
and
as
well
as
children
and.
A
I'm
glad
you
brought
up
USDA
because
that's
the
United
States
Department
of
Agriculture,
so
we
give
them
four
hundred
thousand
pounds
of
chicken
and
we
say
to
Tyson
here.
These
are
great
recipes
that
you
have
it's
great
products
that
you
have
that
meet
nutritional
needs.
They
are
great
quality
and
they
taste
great
and
then
you're
able
to
with
that
chicken
that
came
via
the
federal
government
for
us
make
these
great
products.
A
So
that's,
what's
it's
so
nice
to
be
able
to
see-
and
it
just
mirrors
that
retail
or
like
when
you
say,
retail
somebody,
you
might
say:
well,
what's
retail
again,
it's
just
the
supermarket
when
you're
at
the
supermarket.
What
do
you
see-
and
it's
often
gonna
be
a
very
similar
product?
Ours
are
sometimes
maybe
you
know,
lesson
sodium,
maybe
a
whole-grain
cross
that
might
not
be
out
there
in
the
market,
but
it
really
mirrors
it.
A
C
A
I
didn't
know
was
that
Lyman
I
know
is
long
and
I
knew
we're
together
all
the
time
I
just
didn't
know
it
was
that
long,
yes,
good!
So,
let's,
let's
talk
a
little
bit
about
sustainability
and
I
know,
that's
it's
my
passions
up
your
alley.
We
love
it
as
well.
I
have
the
opportunity
to
visit
one
of
your
plants
and
I
was
blown
away.
I
was
just
truly
in
awe.
A
We
had
a
team
member
from
a
few
team
members
from
Anne,
Arundel
County
go
and
just
the
professionalism,
the
dedication
to
the
community,
the
staff
members
that
we
engaged
every
step
of
the
way
Kim
taking
us
around
right
and
meet
us
hang
out
there
and
saying
hey:
let's
go
we're
gonna
go
in.
It
was
just
an
unbelievable
positive
experience,
but
that
environmental
impact
is
what
really
touched
me.
A
C
So
at
Tyson
we
have
a
pillar
of
sustainability
platforms
that
we
really
work
on
holistically
across
our
business
and
that
environment
is
key
in
what
we
do
every
single
day.
So
as
an
example,
we
have
wastewater
treatment
at
our
facility
where
we
actually
treat
all
of
the
water
that
we
use
and
actually
goes
back
out
into
the
local
environment,
so
meets
all
the
standards
and
as
well
as
you
know,
exceeds
those
and
make
sure
that
we
are
giving
back
what
we
are
also
using
at
that
time.
C
We
also
are
proud
that
we
were
honored
by
North
American
Meat
Institute
on
a
Tier
three
environmental
recognition
award.
So
this
is,
you
know
something
that
we're
really
excited
about.
You
are
rated,
you
know
Tier
one
through
four,
and
so
as
we
continue
to
evolve
our
programs,
we
are
in
Tier
three
and
we'll
actually
have
that
again
in
2020
I
mentioned
just
a
second
ago
of
working
with
our
local
farmers
as
well.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we're
also
assisting
our
farmers
in
their
environmental
programs.
A
And
I
think
that
was
so
evident.
I
know
there
was
a
person
at
the
new
holland
facility
that
we
talked
to
and
she
shared
a
lot
about
that.
We
were
able
to
see
in
person
right
evidence
of
how
this
was
working
and
the
attention
to
that
detail.
Coming
from
tyson.
It
was
very
impressive
and
I
think
you
just
left
feeling
it
was
the
right
thing
to
do
right.
A
You
were
doing
the
right
thing
not
only
for
your
employees
there
and
tyson,
but
all
of
those
communities
that
surround
you
so
kudos
to
you
very
impressive
and
just
nice
to
see
you
know
the
good
work
both
at
the
facilities
and
then
that
you're
reaching
out
to
those
farmers.
Really,
let's
talk,
you
know
a
little
bit
about
the
farmers,
ok
or
the
locals,
so
Kim.
You
know
here
in
Anne,
Arundel
County
right.
We
are
all
over
the
local
piece
and
we
always
want
to
look
at
what
could
we
do?
A
A
How
do
you
reach
out
to
those
local
farmers
like
how
is
something
locally
coming
from
around
that
New
Holland,
which
I
guess
is
the
length,
castor,
County,
I,
guess
tonight,
I
think
it's
Lancaster,
County
I'm,
not
sure
you
know
what's
taste
in
doing
how
are
they
looking
to
partner
with
those
farms
surrounding
them
to
get
a
better
product,
and
then
they
get
it
locally
to
us.
So.
B
B
B
A
B
B
A
D
A
So
it
was,
it
was
interesting
to
see
him
and
I
know
there
was
a
map
at
that
time
and
we
looked
at
a
map.
We
do
a
map
in
Anne,
Arundel
County
and
we
look
at
a
food
environment
map.
So
we
map
out
where
our
schools
that
have
summer
meals
and
where
do
we
have
schools
that
have
higher
on
poverty
levels
or
schools
at
a
50%
or
more
free
and
reduced
price
meals.
And
then
we
look
at
farmers
markets.
So
we
do
a
little
bit
of
that.
A
A
A
A
lot
going
on,
if
his
house,
including
his
chickens
and
everything
else,
right
good.
So,
let's
talk
again
I'm
super
impressed
with
all
that
and
I
think
it
just
aligns
so
well
with
what
we
do.
I
mean
everything
in
Anne,
Arundel
County
aligns
with
the
Tyson
mission
and
and
what
the
vision
is
for
you
guys
too.
Let's
talk
a
little
bit
about.
You
know.
Why
would
you
bring
so
I
talked
and
I?
The
viewers
are
probably
saying
like
what
do
you
mean
she
went
to
the
tour
she
saw
the
facility.
Why?
A
Why
would
Tyson
want
to
do
something
like
this
I
mean
I
know
why
I
wanted
to
go
to
the
the
tour,
but
why
do
you
invite
customers
like
us,
other
customers?
There
was
another.
There
was
two
gals
that
were
there
at
the
same
time,
from
a
Pennsylvania
district,
we
loved
it
cuz.
We
swap
stories
at
the
same
time
we're
like
ooh.
What
are
she
using?
How
could
I
use
it,
but
you
know.
B
D
D
B
A
Chicken
so
I
mean
it
really
just
goes
to
show
I
feel
the
same
thing
I
mean
in
Anne,
Arundel
County.
We
have
dedicated
staff
that
are
here,
20
30
40.
They
feel
they
belong
to
the
school
right,
so
they
might
have
lived
in
the
community
and
they
started
there
when
they
were
just
a
young.
You
know
mom,
they
had
their
kids
there,
their
grandchildren
are
going
there
and
and
they
just
stay
dedicated
to
Anne
Arundel
County,
Public,
Schools
and
I
felt
the
same
way.
I'm
at
that
Tyson
tour,
I
loved
our
suits.
C
For
you
know,
consumers
as
well
as
operators
like
yourself
and
I,
think
you
at
the
nail
on
the
head.
When
you
said
there
is
a
pride
that
comes
with
these
team
members,
because
their
kids
are
schools
too
right.
There's
this
other
level
of
passion
as
it
relates
to
feeding
children
as
they
have
children
that
are
also
in
the
school
system.
So
I
think
that
you
number
one
is
an
education
piece,
but
also
to
show
how
we
are
very
excited
to
be
partners,
as
we
have.
You
know,
kids
in
the
school
system
as
well
and.
A
I
think
it
reassures
me
as
a
mom
right,
so
a
mom
of
two
children
here,
dietician
I
still
write
the
menu
for
Anne
Arundel
County
Public
Schools
for
all
of
my
years
here
to
go
there
and
see
that
commitment,
and
then
the
cleanliness
of
the
facility
and
the
food
safety
in
the
facility,
and
then
you
throw
in
those
environmental
pieces,
I
thought
they
would
have
been
there,
but
they
were
so
prominent.
It
really
really
reassures
why
we
buy
tyson
products
right,
I,
think
it
was
really
a
perfect
match.
A
You
know
having
the
dietician
hat
on
over
the
years.
This
is
you
know
many
years.
For
me,
everything
keeps
changing
right
and
it
as
it
should
so
as
products
get
more
nutritionally
sound
allergen
free.
You
know,
there's
a
lot
of
buzzwords
that
are
out
there.
How
are
we
looking
to
lower
sodium,
lower
fat?
Look
at
sugar
levels,
just
look
at
all
low
calories
in
general.
Right
like
how
are
we
really
fueling
our
students
to
learn
what
is
Tyson
done
for
that
as
a
dietitian,
we're
constantly
looking
ahead.
A
I
know
you
all
have
seen
our
meals,
but
we
do
that
unlimited
fruits
and
vegetables,
or
we
say
to
our
students
when
they
come
through
our
salad
bar
fill
half
your
tray
with
fruits
and
vegetables.
We
want
them
to
really
enjoy
the
taste,
enjoy
the
colors
and
see
it
as
proteins
come.
How
has
all
that
changed
and
how's
tyson
saying?
I'm
gonna
keep
working
with
operators
and
registered
dieticians
to
make
sure
it's
nutritionally
so
sound
in
your
meeting
and
even
exceeding
the
federal
guidelines.
C
Yeah
so,
a
few
years
ago,
the
new
regulations
that
came
out
specific
to
sodium
and
as
I
mentioned
with
121,000
team
members,
we
have
registered
dieticians
on
staff
as
well
as
food
scientist,
and
so
we
work
hand
in
hand
with
them
to
develop.
Items
that
meet
your
and
I
and
I
would
say,
meet
and
exceed
your
regulations
from
just
a
nutritional
perspective.
But
the
other
thing
is:
is
you
don't
want
to
remove
things
without
adding
back
flavor
right
so
and
I?
C
Look
at
the
consumer
today
and
that's
kids
in
the
school
and
they're
eating
everywhere
and
the
flavors
are
so
different
than
whenever
I
was
in
school,
and
it's
really
important
for
us
to
make
sure
that
we're
staying
on
trend
from
a
flavor
perspective
as
as?
Well
as
you
know,
what
are
those
items
that
they
prefer
and
so
through
our
work
with
our
and
food
scientists,
as
well
as
our
suppliers
that
we
work
hand-in-hand
with
as
well
as
feedback
from
you
guys
we're
able
to
develop
a
portfolio
of
items
that
meet
your
need.
C
So
the
one
really
cool
thing
with
our
items
as
well,
for
you,
obviously
local,
but
through
the
work
that
we've
done
in
to
meet
and
exceed
those
sodium
regulations.
We've
also
been
able
to
go
to
no
artificial
ingredients
as
well
as
no
antibiotics
ever
so.
It's
important
for
that
feedback
that
you
guys
provide
from
a
parent
perspective
from
a
kid
perspective
and
as
well
as
we
sure
the
industry
perspective
and
what
that
consumer
really
wants.
A
We
are
like,
did
anybody
look
at
it?
We
always
looked
at
it,
but
there
was
never
that
we
never
drew
that
line
to
say
this
is
gonna,
be
the
sodium.
This
is
going
to
be
where
you
are,
you
know,
so
it
really
I
think
it
took
a
little
bit
of
time,
I
loved,
that
we
were
already
in
dialogue
right.
We
were
already
in
communication
and
I
know:
there's
been
years
where
I
wouldn't
be
surprised
if
I
got
a
call
right
from
Tyson
say
what
do
you
think
like?
A
C
A
Stuff
at
the
beginning,
we're
like
we
better
just
maybe
move
that
off
the
menu
temporarily
until
we
can
find
something
else.
Now
we
have
a
menu.
We
have
so
many
good
things
we're
like
now.
What
do
we
do
yeah?
So
we
do
a
five-week
cycle,
but
if
we
have
all
these
great
items,
what
do
you
start
doing
as
you
have
to
start?
You
know,
trickling
in
and
out
these
five
weeks
of
great
entrees
and
great
things
like
that.
So
the
like
the
whole
grain,
bread
Inge,
you
know
somebody
watching
is
probably
like.
C
Yeah,
so
that
feedback
I,
think
that
you
had
is
so
important
for
us
right.
So
that
way
we
can
carry
back
to
our
team
and
make
sure
that
if
we
are
pushing
for
something
different
or
the
need
is
maybe
different
than
where
it
is
today,
which
it's
constantly
evolving,
that
we're
working
hand
in
hand
and,
like
you
said,
you
know
it
that
that
takes
that
communication
revisions
as
it
relates
to
product
development,
but
we
also
have
a
great
innovation
team
that
is
keeping
a
pulse
on
that
too.
C
A
A
They
they're
more
savvy
I,
think
you
nailed
it
earlier.
They're
savvy,
they
eat
differently,
feed
everything
I
mean
that's
traditional.
What
somebody
might
say.
Oh
I,
don't
know
it's
a
school
lunch
item.
I
mean
pizzas.
Pizza
right
pizza
is
always
gonna
be
on,
but
a
lot
more
different
items
are
popping
up.
You
know
from
Korean
barbeque
meatballs
sriracha
chicken
right.
It's.
C
A
ramen
bars,
you
I
mean
there's
the
it
is
just
a
different
experience
and
I
know.
You've
said
it
on
here
before,
but
it
truly
is
a
restaurant,
that's
located
in
the
school,
and
so
that
is
where
those
trends
and
those
insights
across
obviously
multiple
other
areas
where
we
eat
are
so
important
to
bring
to
you
right.
A
And
I
think
you
know
saying
that.
That's
why
our
taste,
testing
and
everything
is
so
important
because
our
students
don't
have
to
eat
with
us.
So
we
have
85,000
students,
they
don't
have
to
eat
with
us.
So
I'm
constantly
saying
a
moms
and
dads
out
there,
grandmothers
or
whomever
caregivers
you
know
eat
with
us.
It's
inexpensive
to
pay
for
a
school
lunch
in
Anne,
Arundel
County
and
the
value
they
get
nutritionally
and
having
their
children
ready
to
learn
is
priceless.
You
can't
do
it
with
a
bagged
lunch.
You
know.
A
So
that's
the
thing
we
always
talk
about.
Let's
talk,
we're
gonna
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that
local
product.
If
we
could
so,
we
were
so
excited
when
we
report
to
USDA
how
we
buy
fruits
and
vegetables
locally
all
the
time.
So
we
do
the
tasting
and
the
rainbow
like
I
mentioned,
we
visit
our
farmers
that
are
produce.
We
do
milk,
that's
locally
and
it's
been
four
years.
It's
protein,
that's
new!
A
So
the
two
items
that
we
buy
from
you
that
are
local
and
they're
made
at
the
New
Holland
plant
and
I
was
able
to
see
the
one.
So
the
popcorn
chicken
was
being
made
the
day
we
were
there,
which
was
really
extra
cool,
but
it's
the
chicken
drumstick
as
well.
So
talk
a
little
bit
about
that.
You
know
we
we
kind
of
keep
induce
introducing
more
local
but
I,
know
Kim.
You
and
I
had
a
lot
of
discussion
about
that.
Like
I'm
buying
all
this
Tyson.
B
Local
that
we
currently
produce
in
New
Holland
is
that
New
Holland
plan
is
totally
k12
plan,
so
it
all
your
chicken
nuggets
and
patties.
The
drumstick
believe
is
our
number
one
selling
item
and
it
continues
to
grow,
and
that
is
an
item
that
you're
you
actually
are
eating
a
full
chicken
item.
It's
whole
chicken,
its.
E
B
Heard
of
a
child,
bringing
back
up
to
the
cafeteria
manager
said,
is
the
skeleton
in
my
food
because
he
had
a
chicken
bone
because
it's
a
drumstick
where
they're
used
to
the
chicken
nuggets
and
patties,
but
that
that
is
all
what
we
consider
local
like
those
items
and
you
actually
got
a
chance
to
have
them
for
lunch
mm-hmm.
So
you
got
to
see
everything
that
was
going
on
locally.
B
A
I
think
we're
so
proud
in
Anne
Arundel
County
to
have
those
two
items
but
honestly,
when
I
left
the
plant
I'm
like
what
else
do
they
make
there?
Because
we
know
it
impacted
the
farmer
right
like
it
was
a
positive
we
back
to
the
community
for
every
chicken
like
we
buy
so
I
laughed
honestly
thinking,
hmmm
I
need
a
really
kind
of
considered
somewhere
Tison
products.
Out
of
that,
you
know
plan
because
it's
within
our
250
do
250
miles
in
Anne,
Arundel
County.
A
B
And
another
part
that
you
saw
on
that
tour
was
the
robotics
that
we're
getting
into
where
they
were
actually
packaging,
the
product
in
the
boxes,
and
it
was
saving
on
expenses
of
safety
and
things
like
that.
But
it
was
very
robotic
and
I
think
in
the
last
three
or
four
years,
we've
gotten
very
the
most
robotic
that
you
possibly
could
get
in
that
plan
and
was
just
interested
to
see
how
it
wrapped
in
the
shrink-wrapped
and
it
put
stuff
on
pallets
and
it
got
ready
to
be
shipped
yeah.
Was
that
giant?
A
Cups
yeah
just
moving
products,
and
there
was
multiple
I
think
there
was
even
on
that
other.
There
was
another
line:
I,
don't
know
what
you'd
call
them
line.
Alright,
that
was
doing
something
else:
local
and
wrapping
it,
and
then
this
the
saran
wrap.
Well,
it
wasn't
really
ceramic,
but
the
rap
part
was
pretty
cool
too.
It
was.
A
It
was
quite
amazing
every
piece
of
that
we
only
have
about
two
minutes
left
which
I
really
wanted
to
talk
tons
about
relationships,
but
in
two
minutes
let's
try
to
do
the
best
we
can
relationships
are
super
super
important,
I
think
it's
evident
for
us
in
our
county,
under
the
leadership
of
our
superintendent.
It's
all
about
how
we
relate
with
our
students,
with
our
families
with
our
community
members
and
our
external
partners.
I
think.
The
partnership
that
we
have
is
literally
priceless.
You
hear
our
voice.
A
C
Some
relationships
drive
what
we
do
every
single
day
right
and
without
customers
and
feedback
like
you,
we
obviously
would
not
be
hitting
the
mark
on
what
consumers
want.
So
we
really
try
to
take
a
look
at
receiving
feedback
from
customers
in
a
number
of
ways,
so
whether
it
be
through
survey,
whether
it
be
through
one-on-one
dialogue,
building
those
relationships,
ships
visiting
schools
and
hearing
from
kids
right.
So
we
want
to
also
make
things
that
kids
desire,
because
you
know
that's
really.
C
A
And
I
think
you
do
it.
Exceptionally,
you
know
hearing
our
voice
hearing
our
students
voice
because
you
do
the
taste
test
with
us
in
the
school,
providing
a
signage
that
says:
here's
the
Tison
product
and
it's
in
your
school
meals
I'm.
It's
all
those
things
that
strengthen
our
relationship.
It
strengthens,
then
your
company
and
our
business
with
our
schools.
So
thank
you
for
that.
What
you
do
is
really
meaningful
to
your
farmers
to
us
and
to
all
the
students
we
serve.
