Should The FDA Split into Two Agencies? And Some Good Old Food Safety Humor | Episode 5
🧤 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!
Don't Eat Poop is back to discuss everyone's favorite topic... Bureaucracy!
No? Well, we promise it's interesting.
Should the FDA split into two agencies, one overseeing drugs and one food? Should cannabis fall under yet another agency? Francine and Matt have thoughts. Also, did you know that states (and even counties) have their own rules when it comes to food safety regulations?
Food safety humor: the TikTok trend of sticking garlic up your nose to clear your sinuses. Listen to the podcast for more detail and some good laughs... But let's get this out of the way: NOT a great idea!
