In this very special birthday episode Don and Ben talk about Canadian TV references and the Neil Young universe. The conversation goes to a discussion of two food safety folks who recently passed and the importance of reaching out to folks just to say hi. The conversation goes to the long-lasting impacts of an outbreak (and resulting court cases). The guys do a deep dive on Cyclospora in lettuce and FDA's recent warning letters. This leads to a conversation on what to test, when, and why and what happens when you stop. The guys talk about whole genome sequencing and differences between parasites and bacterial pathogens. The show ends on Romaine lettuce season.
