Did you know sanitizing without cleaning is one of the most common food safety mistakes? 🤦‍♀️
DeVere Chemical is here to help you avoid rookie moves.
Their cleaning and sanitizing solutions are built for real food safety, not just looking clean, but being clean.
✅ Remove visible soils
✅ Use the right product
✅ Get full contact time
✅ Don’t miss those hard-to-reach zones
✅ And DOCUMENT EVERYTHING (If it’s not written down… it didn’t happen!)
We’ve met the DeVere team at events, and trust us, they know their stuff AND they’re actually fun to hang out with (which is saying a lot for a chemical company).

Because clean should actually mean clean.
Remember: 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!
