Food Safety Talk 222: The Original Binman




Food Safety Talk show

Summary: Don and Ben start the episode with a talk about adult and youth hockey and Ben's risk decision making. The conversation turns to masks, physical distancing and handling close contact exposures, regardless of setting. The conversation goes to a curious tweet on the investigation of a couple of New Zealand COVID-19 clusters where fomites (and maybe aerosols) are a factor. The guys relay some inside info from Deep Kiwi and what it might mean in food settings. The food safety-specific portion of the show includes a deep dive on new testing requirements for lettuce exported to Canada, Deep Fed feedback on honey and kidney beans, another installment of AB-CDC+ (but this one is AB-FDA+). The show ends on a discussion of storing hard cheeses in oil and Listeria in UK frozen produce.
