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 jumped right into listener feedback talking about fictional petfood safety, fake food, 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.
