Food Safety Talk 132: Big Pot of Sponge Money
The show starts with a discussion about importance of being on time and time management, and then quickly moves to a discussion of recent and future podcast appearances by Don and Ben. They quickly dive into actual food safety, starting with the discussion about the Food Code and the risks posed by an unenclosed outdoor bar. This is followed by further Food Code discussions related to the importance (or lack thereof) of wearing a head covering if you're bald, and Food Code definitions (or lack thereof) for 'clean' and 'balut'. Listener feedback leads into a discussion of Food Code Annex 3 and the scientific basis of the Food Code. This leads to a discussion of the importance of actually reading the references that you're citing. The guys discuss the comfy cow ice cream recall, and the importance of clear communication with customers. Ben talks about his experience cooking blue apron, and there is further discussion about meal kits safety, specifically on cooking directions. The guys get heated up on the topic of sponge microbiology, which leads to a discussion of junk science on water bottle germs, and "Water Kefir", whatever that might be. The show wraps up with a quick mention of a recent CNN article, and the microbiology of blowing out candles on a birthday cake. * [What Is the Oxford Comma and Why Do People Care So Much About It?](https://www.grammarly.com/blog/what-is-the-oxford-comma-and-why-do-people-care-so-much-about-it/) * [National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation on iTunes](https://itunes.apple.com/US/movie/id296929739) * [Carolina Eagles Hockey](http://www.carolinaeagleshockey.com/) * [conference call bingo - Google Search](https://www.google.com/search?q=conference+call+bingo&client=safari&rls=en&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjCv5z7_czVAhVH4YMKHeIxCVQQsAQILg&biw=1667&bih=997) * [My Food Job Rocks!](http://myfoodjobrocks.com/episodes/) * [Food Safety Magazine podcast](http://www.foodsafetymagazine.com/podcast/) * [StoryCorps – Stories from people of all backgrounds and beliefs](https://storycorps.org/) * [Food Safety Talk 1: Frampton Comes Alive — Food Safety Talk](http://foodsafetytalk.com/food-safety-talk/2011/8/28/food-safety-talk-1-frampton-comes-alive.html) * [Food Safety Talk 0: StoryCorps] (****) * [6th Anniversary: Traditional Gift Ideas and More](https://www.thenest.com/content/sixth-anniversary-traditional-gift-ideas) * [Live from the Poundstone Institute : NPR](http://www.npr.org/podcasts/510322/live-from-the-poundstone-institute) * [Gas Light Co. sues city of Portsmouth over outside deck](http://www.seacoastonline.com/news/20170118/gas-light-co-sues-city-of-portsmouth-over-outside-deck) * [Conference for Food Protection](http://www.foodprotect.org/) * [2013 FDA Model Food Code as pdf](https://www.fda.gov/downloads/Food/GuidanceRegulation/RetailFoodProtection/FoodCode/UCM374510.pdf) * [Utilization of Mathematical Models To Manage Risk of Holding Cold Food without Temperature Control](http://jfoodprotection.com/doi/abs/10.4315/0362-028X.JFP-12-424?code=fopr-site&journalCode=food) * [Quantifying the effect of hand wash duration, soap use, ground beef debris, and drying methods on the removal of Enterobacter aerogenes on hands](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25836392) * [The Case of the Creeping Fox Terrier Clone](https://unbound.com/books/why-did-the-policeman-cross-the-road/updates/the-case-of-the-creeping-fox-terrier-clone) * [Bully for Brontosaurus pdf](http://www.sjgouldessays.com/content/nh_essay_summaries_content/05%20Bully%20for%20Brontosaurus.pdf) * [The Comfy Cow Recalls Pints of Ice Cream Due To Possible E.

Food Safety Talk 128: It's the Esters, John
The show begins with a discussion of Ben's recent travels. From there the discussion moves on to obligatory talk about beverages, Canadian and Philadelphia accents, Apple, and other podcasts. The food safety talk begins in earnest with the discussion about what is meant by the words "risk assessment". From there the discussion turns to "food safety programs", restaurant inspections and what customers might want to know, the humor of David Lloyd, and then back to meat safety and proper thermometer use. The show ends with The Onions humorous take on handwashing water temperature. The After Dark contains the usual nonsense including talk about music videos. * [Caldera - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caldera) * [Yellowstone Supervolcano Hit by a Swarm of More Than 400 Earthquakes in One Week](http://www.newsweek.com/yellowstone-supervolcano-earthquake-swarm-eruption-risk-627189) * [Definition of Dingus by Merriam-Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dingus) * [Foley (filmmaking) - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foley_(filmmaking)) * [pamplemousse - Wiktionary](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pamplemousse) * [LaCroix Flavors of Sparkling Water, Ranked From Worst to Best - Thrillist](https://www.thrillist.com/drink/nation/la-croix-flavors-sparkling-water) * [HBO: The Wire: Homepage](http://www.hbo.com/the-wire) * [Apple is going to let podcast creators — and advertisers — see what listeners actually like - Recode](https://www.recode.net/2017/6/10/15774936/apple-podcast-analytics-wwdc) * [Merch Save America – Crooked Media](https://getcrookedmedia.com/merch-save-america-5496e5adc995) * [Risk Assessment of Human Listeriosis ](http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/store/10.1111/risa.12649/asset/risa12649.pdf;jsessionid=4594F13E901926E60BF68B54F6E8570A.f03t02?v=1&t=j45ym2x4&s=caa4ca3d042832cf61e99f82c32665f89d7f8173) * [Meat processed overseas, branded Australian faces ban in proposal by Federal crossbenchers](http://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2017-06-19/mps-propose-australia-branding-ban-for-meat-processed-overseas/8631628) * [Designing a national restaurant inspection disclosure system for New Zealand. - PubMed - NCBI](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22054187) * [Professional Food Manager Practice Quiz - ProProfs Quiz](https://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/story.php?title=professional-food-manager-practice-exam) * [About Us David Lloyd](https://www.cardiffmet.ac.uk/health/zero2five/about/Pages/David-Lloyd.aspx) * [Lebanese Raw Kibbe Recipe – Kibbeh Nayyeh](http://www.mamaslebanesekitchen.com/meats/lebanese-raw-kibbe-recipe-kibbeh-nayyeh/#sthash.CRMjLJNG.dpbs) * ['Cannibal sandwiches' sicken Wisconsin residents - NBC News](http://www.nbcnews.com/health/cannibal-sandwiches-sicken-wisconsin-residents-2D11703492) * [Meat and Poultry Dialogue - Meridian Institute](http://merid.org/MeatandPoultryDialogue) * [Summer Grilling Graphics - Fight Bac!](http://www.fightbac.org/summer-grilling-graphics/) * [160°F Is Good](https://160isgood.com/) * [Study: Hot Water Not Better For Washing Hands - The Onion - America's Finest News Source](http://www.theonion.com/americanvoices/study-hot-water-not-better-washing-hands-56173) * [The Onion - handwashing post](https://www.facebook.com/TheOnion/posts/10155512816959497) * [Van Halen - Panama (Music Video) - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-NshzYK9y0) * [Taylor Swift - Shake It Off - 1989 African Hipster Version ft.

Food Safety Talk 125: Slapping it on a bun
Don and Ben talked big concerts, Flaming Lips (the band, not the anatomy) obscure Canadian bands covering Neil Young and then got into some food safety stuff like the particulars of deer antler tea, with some deer penis sprinkled in.

The episode finished with some listener feedback on washing produce and mold and whether food employees at Blue Apron (and like mail-order businesses) should have local health department food handler training.

Food Safety Talk 124: Talking about Mike Scorpion

They make two book recommendations before talking about rat lungworm and other disgusting things.

Food Safety Talk 96: Boom goes the dynamite
The guys are on a roll. They are very happy that they are releasing new episodes consistently. The show opens with a discussion of topics like Boom, Boom Goes the Dynamite, Dyn-o-mite, Beastie Boys, William Shatner, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, The Avett Brothers, The Sadies, and The Best of Little Feat. They quickly transition with the Maytag Raw Milk Blue Cheese recall by Whole Foods. Ben says that there is a no way for customers to tell if milk was pasteurized; they must read the label, and he notes the absence of the word pasteurized makes the difference, not the presence of the word raw. The discussion moves to the literature and a research paper on the survival of E. coli O157:H7 in Gouda and Cheddar aged for 60 days. Don emphasizes that the rate of pathogen decrease and not the days of survival which is important. Ben asked Don if it is safe to consume raw milk. “It depends, and it is complicated” he replies. The conversation turns to an article by David Gumpert “Is OPDC Bumping Scalability Limits, to Detriment of Raw Milk Nationally”. The guys note that exposure is less when a business is small. Don goes off a tangent, mentioning two articles about the brain and self-government. Ben responds to Don by recommending another on risk communication, which suggest that it is hard to change people beliefs. From there the podcast digresses into Wordy Rappinghood and Kanye West Facts before turning to the boiling of water as affected by atmospheric pressure, and altitude in response to a question from Linda Harris. The show ends with a discussion of GFSI audits and poor food safety culture.

Food Safety Talk 90: What if it's a service dragon?
The guys begin the show by recommending two albums by Willie Nelson: Yesterday’s Wine and Half Nelson. The conversation moves quickly to the E. coli O157: H7 outbreak related to the chicken salad distributed by Costco. The celery and onion mix, provided by Taylor Farms, was the ingredient contaminated with the pathogen. The scope of the recall was large because it affected so many large retailers. Ben contrasted this recall with the Salmonella outbreak linked to Hershey chocolate in 2006. In that particular case, the supplier of soy lecithin was not revealed by the Canadian Food Inspection agency. From there the talk turns to an FDA warning letter to Gold State Nut which cites the company president for handling nuts after touching his bearded dragon. A Salmonella outbreak in 2014 was linked to bearded dragons and resulting 166 illnesses. The show switches gears when Don shares a hypothetical food safety regulatory scenario with Ben and asks how it would be regulated in North Carolina and New Jersey. Ben notes it would be regulated via a clarification memo. This leads to a discussion of home rule. Ben mentions outbreaks in Alabama and Maryland, linked to similar events. The podcast ends with talking about the movies Legal Eagles and Star Wars. Ben and Don conclude by encouraging the listeners to rate Food Safety Talk in iTunes.

Food Safety Talk 88: Canadian Halloween
The podcast begins with Ben complaining about the clutter in his office, and Don about his downgraded airline membership status (unlike Ben who became a gold member in Delta airline after his trip to Dubai for the International Food Safety Conference). The show starts with a listener question about the shelf life of candy, which is shelf stable from a microbiological perspective because of a low water activity. Don and Ben go on to bond over their love of Brigadeiro from Brazil. The talk moves to a recent WHO report on processed meats, cancer and the guys discuss poor risk communication from the WHO. Ben brings up a recent MMWR article about an E. coli O157:H7 outbreak that was linked to a farming educational event. This prompts Don to talk about the NY Sheep and Wool festival where he did not find any hand washing stations. Don spoke about his talk at the Produce Marketing Association in Atlanta, GA and his trip to Wegmans where he noticed the caramel coated apples were refrigerated and maintained at 40 °F. This was likely due to the 2014 multistate listeriosis outbreaks linked to the consumption of caramel apples. Ben shares that Kroger simply chose to not carry caramel apples which some called a bad knee-jerk reaction to good research. The final topic of the show was Chipotle’s decision to close 43 restaurants in the midst of an E. coli outbreak, although some restaurants have been less than clear about the reason they closed. The podcast ends with reading listener mail.

Food Safety Talk 85: I'm the jerky police
Ben and Don host a special guest, Dan Benjamin, podcasting pioneer and founder of 5by5, the inspiration for Food Safety Talk. After sharing what they were eating (because that makes for a good podcast) and Ben and Don tell the Food Safety Talk origin story about Episode Zero as part of the IAFP 100 year anniversary StoryCorps project. The guys talk with Dan about the podcast content niche, who the community of listeners are (both inside and outside the food safety world). The conversation moves into how Don is food safety expert to the podcasting stars and the guys talk about some of the risk assessment questions Dan and Haddie text Don that usually start with ‘Can she eat this?' The discussion goes into kids getting sick, spurred by Dan’s children coming home with gastro illnesses. Don and Ben each have stories about taking care of vomiting children. The guys talk about Immunity, resistance and probabilities of feces being positive, transfer and introduction into the body. Don describes how risk modeling calculations work taking all the factors into account. Dan tells an analogous story about immunity and his grandfather’s metallurgy job. The guys use a hypothetical situation of a child projectile vomiting into someones mouth to help explain acquired immunity and vaccinations. Dan’s child illness discussion pushes the guys into CDC’s Infection control guidelines and restaurant food handlers and glove use. Dan tells a detailed story of his son’s vomiting event which includes norovirus, rotavirus, oatmeal, sink disposal, aerosolization, infection control, clean-up and incubation. A norovirus outbreak at Chipotle becomes a topic and the guys talk about brand impacts of an outbreak. The hygiene hypothesis makes an appearance as does brain eating amoebas. Dan describes Ben as the jerky police which goes back to an interview Ben did on 5by5 where they talked about risks associated with drying beef without heat treating. Dan gives hints on his super special recipe. The guys talk dehydrating manufacturers instructions (which may or may not be validated), water activity, Shigatoxin-producing E. coil and marinades. Don and Ben come up with a plan for a jerky how-to podcast and website fusing some of the validation studies (including one from our friends Harrison and Harrison).

Food Safety Talk 84: All the Great Journals
The podcast starts (as it often does) with a discussion of music, and today it’s jazz and rap. From there it moves to podcasts, then back to music, specifically the Violent Femmes concert Ben attended with his family. The transition to Food Science talk begins with a discussion of improvisation during public presentations, and the Merlin Mann © style of presentation. The conversation switches to salt rising bread made via the action of lactic acid bacteria and Clostridium perfringens and peer-reviewed research on the same. From there the discussion moves to Apple Watch, Pandora, Spotify, Focus at Will (a streaming service purported to aid concentration), Ben’s new MacBook, and a rapper that recorded an entire album in an Apple store. Finally, the conversation returns to food safety and the Stella & Chewy pet food Listeria monocytogenes recall in particular, and the microbial risks posed by pet food in general as evidenced by the peer-reviewed literature. The pet food topic prompts a discussion of the One Health Approach, and the importance of collaboration to solve food safety issues for humans and animals. The show ends with a pop culture recommendation of The Hobbit for Haitian graduate students or anyone else interested in second breakfast.

Food Safety Talk 83: Many peoples' thermometers
Food Safety Talk, a bi-weekly podcast for food safety nerds, by food safety nerds. The podcast is hosted by Ben Chapman and barfblog contributor Don Schaffner, Extension Specialist in Food Science and Professor at Rutgers University. Every two weeks or so, Ben and Don get together virtually and talk for about an hour. They talk about what’s on their minds or in the news regarding food safety, and popular culture. They strive to be relevant, funny and informative — sometimes they succeed. You can download the audio recordings right from the website, or subscribe using iTunes. After establishing that Joni Mitchell is not dead and Nova Scotia is New Scotland the guys jump into food safety of microgreens. There is a wide range of microgreens available. One microgreen company Fresh Origins describes over 400 different types of greens products and has a cursory mention food safety on their website. The guys attempt to clarify the confusing world of sprouts, microgreens, and hydroponic techniques. There is a difference between sprouts and microgreens; Sprouts are sprouted seeds whereas microgreens are often sprouted once and then harvested repeatedly. There are also many different hydroponic designs where plants are rooted in a non-soil substrate and fed by circulated nutrient containing water. Hydroponic production can be done safely but does not guarantee safe food. A lot of circulating nutrient rich water allows bacteria to grow and move around. As with sprouts, the seeds used for microgreens combined with the growing conditions, does create risk of pathogen growth as described in this paper (STEC survival in microgreens). The guys talk Listeria in produce and the challenges of risk assessments. Don is going to a Produce Safety policy conference where he will give a talk on assessing public health risk for product associated Listeria monocytogenes exposure. A 2003 risk assessment ranked Listeria in produce as low risk however produce recently affected by listeria are caramel apples, cantaloupe, and stone fruit and this shows that risk assessments can become outdated. New information is always becoming available, for example, Listeria growth on the outside of cantaloupe at room temperature. The data is also getting more applicable as researchers now appreciate the importance of using relevant strains. Ben and Don discuss consumer recommendations lagging behind food safety science. For example the California Cantaloupe Advisory Board a ‘sliced melon should be stored in the refrigerator until it is ready to be eaten’ while data support a recommendation more similar to deli meats. Something like: if you don’t know your refrigerator’s temperature, eat deli meats and sliced cantaloupe within 2 days; if you know it holds food below 41F, you have 4 days. Ben and Don talked about visiting Austin and the 5by5 studios. And if you are in Texas try to eat at Torchy’s tacos. The guys talk about food retail and Ben gets on a rant about how when people talk about food safety culture they don’t quite get it. Ben describes a frustrating situation he encountered at a food safety meeting: food safety nerds reporting that decision makers respond to perceived risks more strongly than public health risks. Like one retailer spending more resources on hairnets than norovirus control because hair is what their CEO perceives as an issue.
