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).
If you’re in food service or manufacturing, check out deverechemical.com.
Because clean should actually mean clean.
Remember: Don’t eat poop! 💩

We went with our usual food safety humor in the title, but... our main topic is not really funny.

Hundreds of children have become infected with e. Coli in a daycare outbreak in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

The cases have been traced back to a central kitchen that provided food for a number of daycare centers. Children have been hospitalized and secondary infections have been recorded. Not good.

How did this happen? What can prevent this from happening again? And what might be the ramifications?

Also in this week's episode: The One-Chip Challenge! Some nightmarish health inspector stories! And a big announcement (stick around until the end)...

We hope you enjoy this episode!
