Food Safety Talk 196: Superintendent of Judges

The show opens with a discussion of the television program Letterkenny before Ben talks about his recent experiences cooking turkeys for Canadian Thanksgiving. That's only a warm-up, because Ben has a lot of information to share about his recent experiences serving as a Superintendent of Judges for a variety of competitions at the North Carolina State fair. This story has it all: real food safety, perceived food safety, risk communication and risk management. Next, the guys handle listener feedback and talk about safe cooking temperatures for wild game, and why they might not be science-based. Other feedback includes a great idea for celebrating Halloween if you have food allergies. although neither host is an expert on chemical food safety or toxicology, that does not stop them from handling a whole host of questions on micro plastics, food plastics in general, as well as mercury and arsenic risks. Listener feedback ends with a question on the availability of food safety classes for the general public.

Food Safety Talk 188: Cook a Pizza With a Pizza

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.

Food Safety Talk 176: Bug Book

The show opens with a discussion about privacy, whether you should cover the microphone on your computer, or how you can scare your kids using Alexa. The guys talked briefly about what they're watching, Ben's trip to Athens Georgia, and celebrity feet. From there the show moves into listener feedback talking about the safety of eating Canadian seaweed. Listener feedback makes a interesting segue into failure, and the things we can learn from it. The show returns to listener feedback with a discussion about citrus safety and infused water. For some reason Don wants to talk about smoke detectors, before returning again to listener feedback and "Contamination Corner", and ways to learn about stuff you don't know about (like filibusters). Ben and Don talk about an interview that Don did for Cooking Light, before Don wants to talk about fixing his broken software. Ben ends the show with a long discussion regarding safe cooking directions for frozen vegetables, and why no one can agree. Show notes so you can follow along at home are below:

Food Safety Talk 148: Why not suck instead of blow?

The show opens with a little audio surprise and the guys get right into loads of listener feedback on BBQ sauce regions, hot water for cooking, hot air hand dryer design, recalls (and is it ever too late), heating flour, food safety for the immunocompromised, where to go for food safety 101, cooking prime rib, and washing ramen dishes. After listener feedback, the guys address the South Africa Listeria outbreak finally linked to deli meats, food waste and the Australian Listeria outbreak linked to Rockmelon.
