Don't Eat C-SPAN (Frank Yiannas's Testimony Before Congress) | Episode 9
🧤 THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY Eagle Protect! 🧤
Did you know you can find fecal coliform on over 50% of gloves? It’s astounding to learn that many of the gloves coming into our country are contaminated. But Eagle Protect is changing that.
They test every single lot of their Eagle Delta Zeroâ„¢ gloves for microbial contamination.
This is a company truly committed to food safety. So please check them out at eagleprotect.com and get your gloves tested. Let’s not forget… Don’t eat poop!
This week, we go full C-SPAN...
Frank Yiannas (former chief of the "food" side of the FDA) has testified on Capitol Hill about the bacterial contamination at a Michigan plant that led to a baby formula shortage last February.
Babies, we hope it doesn't need to be said, should not be getting sick from drinking formula.
Yiannas agrees, and his no-holds-barred testimony took industry and government alike to task for allowing this to happen and pointing toward reforms to be implemented to avoid a repeat.
Join Matt and Francine for commentary on Yiannas's testimony, musings on the issues it raises, and no shortage of jokes. Because that's simply how they roll.
