What if making safer food choices for your family didn’t require hours of research—or finding out about a food recall after it was already too late?
For busy parents, especially single parents already carrying countless responsibilities, keeping up with food recalls, ingredients, health information, and changing food safety alerts can feel like one more thing to worry about.
Jordan Robinson understands that challenge from both sides. Raised by a hardworking single mom, he grew up watching her make decisions about the health and well-being of their family with limited time and resources. It wasn’t until Jordan became a father himself that he fully understood how much responsibility his mother had carried.
Those early experiences, combined with his background in cybersecurity and technology, eventually helped inspire Jordan to create Anxin, a food safety app designed to help individuals and families make safer, more informed food choices.
In this episode of Single Parent Success Stories, Jordan shares how his childhood shaped his mission and why he believes families need easier access to reliable food safety information. We explore what he calls the “transmission gap”—the time between a food safety issue or recall and when people actually hear about it—as well as the “confusion gap” created by conflicting health information, social media, advertising, and online opinions.
Together, we explore how technology can make food safety information easier to access, how parents can become more informed without adding more overwhelm to their lives, and why Jordan believes better information can lead to more confident decisions about what we put on our tables.
You’ll learn:
• Why food recalls can be easy for busy families to miss
• How parents can become more aware of food safety without constantly monitoring the news
• What Jordan calls the “transmission gap” in food safety information
• How conflicting health advice creates a “confusion gap” for consumers
• Why informed food choices can help parents make decisions with greater confidence
• How Jordan’s cybersecurity background influenced his approach to food safety
• How the Anxin app brings information from multiple sources together
• Why food insecurity became an important part of Jordan’s mission
• How the app helps users locate food banks in their communities
• What growing up with a single mom taught Jordan about sacrifice, resilience, and caring for a family
One of Jordan’s most meaningful reflections is that he didn’t fully recognize everything his mother was doing for him while he was growing up.
It took becoming a parent himself to understand the time, energy, and sacrifice behind the everyday choices she made.
That perspective now connects with a larger purpose: using the technology skills Jordan developed throughout his career to help individuals and families access information that can support safer food decisions.
Whether you’re a single parent trying to make healthy choices on a busy schedule, a parent concerned about food recalls and food safety, or simply someone who wants to feel more informed about the food you consume, this conversation offers a practical look at how better access to information can help families make more confident choices.
