In February, Dairy Foods debuted Let’s Talk Dairy, our new podcast. Led by Dairy Foods’ editors, the podcast series will cover a wide variety of topics, including product development, dairy product trends, food safety, plant operations, dairy product marketing, regulatory updates and much more.

The first episode in the series features Rachel Kyllo, senior vice president of marketing and innovation for St. Paul, Minn.-based Kemps LLC. Kyllo speaks about the mentorship opportunities she sees as a woman in the dairy industry and discusses how important women’s voices are in product development. She also touches on Kemps’ partnership with Roundy’s Supermarkets, which was designed to increase per-capita consumption of milk by emphasizing the beverage’s nutritional benefits.
