Food Safety Talk 210: Liberty-Dibbities




Food Safety Talk show

Summary: The show starts with Don asking Ben to help with some questions from a reporter about disinfectant wipes. After a brief digression into bacon maple jam safety, the guys segue to the risks of using fruit ripen or as hand sanitizer, and from there into the risk of re-opening the economy and how to manage them. Don reads from an email message about why Taiwan has not shut down it's economy, and from there recommends a new podcast, while Ben recommends a Netflix show. They both recommend the recent SNL cold open with Brad Pitt as Dr. Anthony Fauci. Ben talks about his chickens, while Don talks about loose sheep. The discussion turns to the risk of COVID-19 in food processing plants and from wet markets, and the origin of SARS-CoV-2. After a brief chat about biosafety labs and the risks of accidental release, Ben asked Don about the recent $25 million fine of chipotle before the guys wrap up the show.
