Food Safety Talk 193: E dash Coli Sep 16, 2019

Show notes

Don and Ben start the show with a listener question about the safety of cooking already dead lobsters, which leads into some personal stories about bad seafood (and good seafood, like those Des Moines scallops). The guys then tackle a bunch of listener feedback related to internalization of pathogens in produce, pancake shooters and a follow-up of last episode's boil water advisory excitement. The episode ends with a discussion of the safety of canning recipes found online (and how to sneak some lemon juice into canned tomatoes).

Food Safety Talk 190: Once My Taste Went Weird (with Daniel Jalkut) Aug 15, 2019

Show notes

Today the guys were joined by software developer Daniel Jalkut for a wide ranging discussion on food safety including whether the inside leaves of a head of lettuce need to be washed, whether something can ever be 100% safe, the importance and origins of Mann's Assumption, how what people see in the grocery store informs their perception of food safety, the risks of microorganisms on the outside of food packages, food safety culture, the risks from reheated rice, and a fascinating and deep dive into pine mouth and its causes. The show ends with a discussion about the possibilities of reconditioning a wooden cutting board of unknown origins.

Food Safety Talk 188: Cook a Pizza With a Pizza Aug 02, 2019

Show notes

The show opens with the guys talking about the recent IAFP meeting, as well as the usual assorted miscellanea. Ben wants to talk about when to discard cutting boards, what to do about a broken wrist watch, and a food worker with MRSA. From their the guys clear out all of the backlog of listener feedback, including storage of fancy candied cherries, a recent article flies, E. coli, feedlots and produce, the risks of sous vide, other podcasts about food safety, the risks posed by leaving foods out-of-doors, cooking "en papillote", high-tech sensors for food shelf life, the risks of fecal transplants, the risks of salt in your rice, the potential for bacteria to evolve heat resistance, FDA bashing by the far right, monitoring your refrigerator and freezer in the case of a power outage, and old-fashioned and newfangled ways of measuring vibrio risk from shellfish. Somewhere in all of that they also talk about the title topic. If you're in the greater Seattle area on Tuesday, August 6 2019, and you want to attend a free live recording, please join the guys at 7pm on Tuesday, in Blencoe Auditorium on the Renton Technical College campus, Renton, WA 98056.

Show notes

The show opens with Don's asking Ben to buy him some gift cards. Ben is also having a holiday party six, and the guys spend a little bit of time talking about the media there watching before the talk turns to food safety. Listener feedback leads to a discussion of the risks posed by leaving foods out of temperature control, which foods pose an increased risk of harboring Listeria, appropriate labeling advice for doggy bags, and the safety of multiple component foods being left out of temperature control. Ben livens things up with a discussion based on an interesting reddit post, as well as a question about which months are safe for consuming raw shellfish. The guys plug to recent restaurants they visited before a brief dip back into music and media, and conclude with plugs for their live shows at IAFP and in Seattle.

Show notes

The show opens with some brief news about the recent Apple keynote. From there the discussion turns to books about food safety and Don's recent travels. Then the guys jumped right into listener feedback talking about fictional petfood safety, fake food, food fraud, school gardens, cooking pasta inside a cheese wheel, using pressure cookers to sterilize microbiological media, conservative views on food safety and the FDA, electrolyzed water as a cleaning agent, the role of lawyers in the food safety system, and inexpensive high-quality folding microscope, FDA's upcoming frozen berries sampling assignment, the safety of expired foods, water temperature for handwashing, bacterial transmission from splashing water and insects, and quaternary ammonium compounds and cotton cloths. Ben wraps things up with his discussion about making a video that combines his love of hockey and food safety, as well as his recent adventures at the CSTE meeting.
