Food Safety Talk 184: Pull Your Pork Properly

The show opens with some brief news about the recent Apple keynote. From there the discussion turns to books about food safety and Don's recent travels. Then the guys jump right into listener feedback talking about fictional petfood safety, food fraud, school gardens, cooking pasta inside a cheese wheel, using pressure cookers to sterilize microbiological media, conservative views on food safety and the FDA, electrolyzed water as a cleaning agent, the role of lawyers in the food safety system, and inexpensive high-quality folding microscope, FDA's upcoming frozen berries sampling assignment, the safety of expired foods, water temperature for handwashing, bacterial transmission from splashing water and insects, and quaternary ammonium compounds and cotton cloths. Ben wraps things up with his discussion about making a video that combines his love of hockey and food safety, as well as his recent adventures at the CSTE meeting.

Food Safety Talk 174: No Borscht Collusion

The show starts with a discussion of Ben’s vocal fry, which leads to an interesting digression regarding fried fish. Ben follows up with a discussion about emptying his inbox and what sparks joy. This leads to a semi-deep dive on productivity before a short segment on television recommendations. Food safety talk begins with discussion about flour safety, which moves on to a viral video on leftover pasta safety tied to food poisoning incident from more than a decade ago. There is a discussion about the safety of fast food left out of temperature control for several hours before the guys move on to listener feedback. Listener feedback covers handling wedding leftovers, canning borscht, and the benefits using aseptic technique when pouring milk. Listener feedback is interrupted by more discussion of food safety in the news, and a recipe for overnight cooking, and crockpot safety. Ben discusses pet food safety, before returning to listener questions on the proper sanitary technique for disinfecting a spatula left behind the stove for a year, and confusing deli meat labels, before the show ends with a brief chat about microbiological risks from sinks and how they are spread.
