Food Safety News of The Week: A Plea Deal And FDA Letter | Episode 4
🧤 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!
There's no rest for the food safety industry... In the news (and on the discussion menu this week) is the Blue Bell Creameries' retired former CEO, who has reached a plea deal in the federal trial stemming from a listeria outbreak in 2015 that led to three deaths. Paul Kruse was potentially facing jail time but will simply pay a $100,000 fine.
The FDA has sent a letter to baby formula producers essentially asking them to please do their jobs.
Also: eating oranges in the shower... life-changing or potentially life-threatening? Some of the usual food safety humor to wrap up the episode.
