Show notes

The show opens with a bit of discussion about other podcasts, but quickly moves to the main subject at hand, a study published on the increased isopropanol tolerance of certain bacteria found in hospitals. The guys weigh in on the strengths and weaknesses of the study, with some help via listener feedback. The next topic is Chipotle's recent problem with Clostridium perfringens in their beans. The guys introduce a new segment on Canadian foods, before moving to listener feedback on fermented foods, CSPI, and thermometer calibration, times and temperatures, food dehydrators, handwashing, and double gloving. The show ends with a discussion of a recent cookbook recall.

The guys then get into a bunch of listener feedback on lava rock and Clostridium botulinum control in canned beverages. The conversation goes to Toxoplasma and entrepreneurialism and Mongolian style grill cooking. The episode ends on the differences in food safety between 41°F and 42°F, in North Carolina.

Food Safety Talk 160: The Bounds of Credulity Jul 23, 2018

The guys open the show by calling each other at the same exact time, and after some podcast and productivity life hack talk, the conversation turns to recycled news, Betteridge headlines, and foodborne disease trends. Don then asks Ben for advice on talking to reporters about rodents in bottles. Listener feedback and followup covers raw pet food risk, flour heating validation, leftover storage and safety, water container hygiene, rotisserie chicken handling, tong and spatula reuse redux. The show ends with a rapid fire mention of many currently ongoing recall and outbreaks in this summer of food safety.

Food Safety Talk 156: Rank the Kato's Jun 16, 2018

Show notes

The show opens with a discussion of the new videogame Fortnight that Ben's kids are obsessed with. The guys briefly comment on a recent Do By Friday episode before talking about their recent travels. Since Ben was recently in Washington, he can't avoid talking about hockey and the Stanley Cup. The food safety talk begins in earnest when the guys talk about the sad and untimely death of chef Anthony Bourdain. The guys reminisce about him before shamelessly plugging their upcoming live podcast at the Food Law Seminar at Michigan State. The Multistate Outbreak of Salmonella Adelaide Infections Linked to Pre-Cut Melon is in the news, and that's the next topic for discussion. A grab bag silly food safety topics rounds out the episode including Salmonella at Caffe Nero, cooking hotdogs on your snowmobile, the dangers of eating squid sperm, and the risks of tampering with food.

Food Safety Talk 155: Diamond Dave Jun 05, 2018

Show notes

The episode starts with a discussion on old TV shows that the guys should be or have watched. Ben and Don talk about food pantries and frozen chicken items that look cooked but are raw. The guys then chat cookie food safety, insurance policies, traceability and blockchain in Romaine. The conversation goes to a Twitter exchange started by FDA commissioner Scott Gotlieb that Don joined that got to J. Kenji Alt-Lopez (and back to Don) that ended with the grind-your-own-beef-is safer question. The episode ends with a discussion on kimchi fermentation and parameters need to safely make it in restaurant kitchens.

The safety of bed-side water, the ongoing romaine outbreak, and Listeria in mashed potatoes round out the food safety news. Listener feedback and a promo for the upcoming live podcast at MSU end the show.
