In this episode of Don’t Eat Poop!, our hosts Matt and Francine are talking about a Listeria outbreak in Canada that was traced back to Silk and Great Value brand plant-based milk, both produced in the same Danone Canada facility.

Tune in as they make sense of what went wrong, talk about the consequences of such a recall, and educate us about Listeria.

They also tackle the risks of raw milk, as well as the logistics behind it.

“I would rather know I have Listeria in my facility and be actively trying to get rid of it, than all of a sudden having the FDA knocking on my door saying ‘Hey, 9 people were confirmed sick and the epidemiology is looking to your facility’.” – Matthew Regusci

“Every week, there's a recall. I guess that's good and bad, good they're catching it and doing the recalls, bad that there are so many, it seems.” – Francine L Shaw
