Food Safety Talk 138: Ominous noises
from Food Safety Talk · host Don Schaffner
This special pre-halloween episode features ominous noises, (and we are not talking about the pinging noise from Don's email in the background). The show opens with discussion of the sights and smells of fresh compost around Ben's office. After a brief digression into favorite TV, podcasts and fan feedback, the talk turns to recent food safety publications on cutting board safety and water bottle sanitation, followed by best Reduced Oxygen Packaging Handling practices from listener feedback. Next Ben gets real time inspiration and the guys do some back of the envelope risk assessment on home preparation of black garlic before a discussion raw camel milk and the risks of fake cures. The show ends with a discussion of turkey eggs and Canadian Thanksgiving.
