In this episode of Don’t Eat Poop!, our host Francine shares some recent (and not-so-pleasant) personal developments since our episode about contaminated dog food. That leads to her and Matt sharing invaluable insights on crisis management in the food industry. Drawing from their extensive experience in the field, they emphasize the critical need for preparing ahead of time, long before a crisis strikes. 

They also have some even more disturbing news to share, it was recently found that an NJ school janitor has been accused of contaminating the school’s food supply with his own body fluids.
