Food Safety Talk 282: The Fabulous Ms. Mertzel

The show starts with the guys talking about Ben's Internet situation, Don introduces a new show concept: Department Head Chair Talk and then teases new Food Safety Talk t-shirts. The conversation goes to then goes to couple of talks that they gave Ben at the American Association for Agricultural Education and Don to students at the Rutgers Law Cannabis Certificate program. The guys then talk about the difference between cleaning and sanitizing as explained really simply (with special props to the Conference for Food Protection Disinfection Committee). The discussion goes to a fantastic article about room temperature butter and then go on to AI and Chat-GPT. The show ends on discussion on a Salmonella outbreak linked to sushi in Colorado.
