Summary: Don and Ben start the conversation with their reflections on Frank Yiannas' resignation and FDA's restructuring. They also talk about the passing of their IAFP friend Paul Hall. Don gives Ben an early birthday present and then they really get into the world of FDA warning letters and criminal charges for food safety violations. The conversation goes to pit bbq, listeria in train food and kitchen design for food safety. The episode ends on a discussion of the peer review process (not the system we would have created but the system we have).
