Don and Ben are joined by repeat special guest Larry Goodridge from the University of Guelph (this marks Larry's third time on the show from two different continents). Larry joins the show from Rome where he was spending time working with FAO on international food safety things. After a quick game of guess the guest, the three talk about IAFP, Larry's Ivan Parkin Lecture and the large topic of misinformation/disinformation in online and social media discussions. The topics they cover include leftover soup issues, supersharers, botulism from home canned foods and how almond milk might get contaminated with Listeria. Oh they also talk about how bear meat from Saskatchewan led to some parasite illnesses in the U.S.
