Summary: Don and Ben are joined by Benjamin Schrager who recently started as as an Assistant Professor at Utsunomiya University. Benjamin's PhD dissertation work centered on chicken sashimi and a Twitter thread on this work led to a discussion that Ben and Don had on Risky or Not episode 197. Benjamin provided insights and perspectives from his research, his time in Japan and this led to in-depth discussions on messaging, source contamination, regulation, perception of safety and trust. The second half of the episode is just Don and Ben and they talk through Salmonella in onions, FDA's sampling surveillance on Romaine lettuce and a food e-commerce.
