Transcript [Music] From Washington State University Extension, this is Food Safety in a Minute. Since May 1st, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed thousands of domestic cases of cyclosporiasis most likely linked with iceberg lettuce grown in Mexico. Caused by the parasite Cyclospora, most illnesses have been reported in Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Texas. Washington state has reported 42 cases. While there's been one hospitalization, State health officials are not seeing a suspected food source or signs of an outbreak in Washington. It's normal to have some cases of Cyclosporiasis as most are linked to recent international travel mostly to Mexico. That's true for 28 cases in our state. Of domestically acquired cases, 6 traveled to a state with an outbreak. Thanks for listening, I'm Susie Craig. [Music] Resources Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Elena Medo, M.B.A. is an entrepreneur, researcher, and inventor who has spent nearly 40 years transforming neonatal care through leadership and innovation. She has secured numerous patents, raised over $40 million across four companies, and built a legacy of firsts, including the first commercially available shelf-stable donor breast milk product; the first milk bank owned exclusively by nursing mothers; and the first medical device designed to analyze human milk. Today, as CEO and co-founder of Leonie Health PBC, established in 2023 with her daughter, Adrianne Weir, Elena is developing a revolutionary product that replicates the immune properties of colostrum to protect preterm infants against the three deadliest neonatal infections—necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAC), and sepsis—which together claim the lives of more than 30,000 hospitalized infants per year. Elena's work is driven by an unwavering commitment to ensure that human milk's unparalleled bioactive benefits reach the world's most vulnerable patients. Companies she has founded—including Prolacta Bioscience, Medolac Laboratories, North American Instruments, and White River Concepts—have applied disruptive technologies to serve the 15 million preterm infants born each year. A frequent speaker at neonatal, women's health, and leadership conferences, Elena holds an M.B.A. degree in Healthcare Management from the University of California, Irvine's Paul Merage School of Business and is widely recognized for assembling world-class teams to solve critical challenges in infant health. In this episode of Food Safety Matters, we speak with Elena [38:58] about: Her work in human milk science and the founding of Leonie Health, which offers bioactive infant nutritional products mimicking colostrum to support neonatal health and early development Reflections on the recent global infant formula recall due to cereulide contamination, which affected 99 countries and multiple brands Why U.S. disease surveillance systems might miss or misclassify infant foodborne illness cases What the cereulide incident reveals about risks for infants in neonatal intensive care (NICU) and donor milk settings Improvements to public health and laboratory systems that would enable earlier detection and response to infant formula contamination incidents and related illnesses The importance of infant-specific toxicological reference values for contaminants like cereulide, such as those recently established in the EU, and how the EU's response could influence regulatory approaches to other emerging hazards in infant foods Leonie Health's process for verifying the safety of donor milk Key principles for clinicians, hospitals, and parents to consider when making decisions about infant feeding when contamination events affect commercial formula products.

In this lively DocTales with Cocktails episode, Dr. May Hindmarsh and Tim Hindmarsh tackle the headlines surrounding a recent Cyclospora outbreak linked to fresh produce—and separate legitimate concerns from media-driven fear. The conversation dives into foodborne parasites, dehydration, gut health, and why not every alarming headline deserves a panic response. They also explore whether cooking vegetables may offer digestive advantages, discuss emerging research on curcumin as a potential therapy, and share practical advice on when gastrointestinal illness actually warrants medical attention. Of course, it wouldn't be BS Free MD without plenty of humor. The episode veers into bizarre consumer products, questionable inventions, and finishes with one of Tim's signature rants that has to be heard to be believed. In This Episode The recent Cyclospora outbreak and what's actually happening How common these infections really are—and why perspective matters Symptoms of parasitic gastrointestinal infections Dehydration: when to stay home and when to seek medical care Standard treatments versus emerging research on curcumin Raw vs. cooked vegetables and gut health discussions Food safety myths, salad bars, and produce handling Tim's latest "product we'll never own" A cocktail recommendation from Deep Eddy Vodka Key Takeaways Headlines don't always reflect actual risk. Most gastrointestinal infections resolve with supportive care and hydration. Severe dehydration, bloody stools, or worsening abdominal pain require prompt medical evaluation. Proper food handling and preparation remain important, but panic rarely is. Medical conversations are better served with context than fear.

Cyclospora cases have surged across the U.S., sickening thousands in a foodborne outbreak linked to fresh produce, including iceberg lettuce. The parasite can cause severe diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, fatigue, and weight loss, and outbreaks are often difficult to trace because symptoms may not appear for up to two weeks. Dan spoke with Timothy Lytton, Regents' Professor at Georgia State University College of Law and author of Outbreak: Foodborne Illness and the Struggle for Food Safety, about why cyclosporiasis is just one part of a much larger food safety problem.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

RaeAnn Tucker from the Henry and Stark County Health Departments and First Choice Healthcare Clinics joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to discuss food safety during a power outage, outreach events in Wyoming, mental health services, home food safety and licensing, and insurance navigators. During power outages, keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed; refrigerated perishables may be unsafe after four hours, while a full unopened freezer can last up to two days. Residents are also urged to check food carefully once power returns. The department's “12 Communities, 12 Months” outreach visits the Stark County Junior Fair in Wyoming on July 24th, with medication disposal, blood pressure checks, health information, giveaways, and insurance navigator help. Mental health services are also accepting new patients through First Choice Healthcare in Kewanee. Call 309-852-0197 or visit henrystarkhealth.com.

Your potato salad has been out for how long? On this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael welcomes back Amanda Johnson, the Food, Nutrition, and Health Extension Agent based in Frederick County (serving all five surrounding counties), for a genuinely useful summer companion to their November food safety conversation. This time the focus is picnics, cookouts, and family reunions — with the same four-pillar framework Amanda teaches: Clean, Separate, Cook, Chill. Amanda walks through what most home cooks get wrong (yes, you need to wash the outside of a watermelon before you cut it; no, you can't tell doneness by looking at a hamburger; no, your macaroni and cheese is not "already cooked" and safe forever). She covers the current Cyclospora parasite situation in Virginia (fewer than 100 cases, potentially linked to leafy greens, and no — washing produce won't kill the parasite; only good hand hygiene stops the spread). She lays out the temperature danger zone (40°F to 140°F), the two-hour rule for food left out (which drops to one hour when it's 90°F or hotter outside), the proper internal temperatures for chicken, ground meat, and steaks, and the smart practical tips that make the whole thing manageable — from separate coolers for drinks and food, to smaller serving bowls that keep the reserve cold in the cooler, to why you should always reheat leftover mac and cheese to 135°F (Janet: "See, I told him"). Plus a Handwashing 101 refresher (20 seconds, out of the water, Happy Birthday twice or the ABCs will do it). THE FOUR PILLARS OF FOOD SAFETY 1. CLEAN • Wash hands with soap for 20 seconds (out of the water), then rinse and dry • Wash all fresh produce under warm running water — including melon and squash exteriors • Sanitize prep surfaces and utensils • No soap needed on produce; just water and a bit of friction 2. SEPARATE • Never use the same plate for raw meat and cooked meat • Use different utensils at the grill for handling raw vs. cooked • Pack raw meat at the bottom of a cooler, sealed • Keep a separate cooler or bag for drink ice — never use the meltwater ice for beverages 3. COOK • Use a food thermometer — visual cues (grill marks, edges, color) are not reliable • Insert the thermometer from the SIDE of a burger, not top-down • Poultry: 165°F • Ground meat (hamburger, ground lamb): 160°F • Whole cuts (steaks, roasts): 145°F • Reheated leftovers: minimum 135°F 4. CHILL • The temperature danger zone: 40°F to 140°F • Hot foods should stay above 140°F while served • Cold foods should stay below 40°F while served • The two-hour rule: food out longer than 2 hours should be discarded • When it's 90°F or hotter outside, the rule drops to ONE hour • Crock-Pots can HOLD hot food but should NOT be used to reheat cold food SMART PICNIC AND COOKOUT TIPS FROM THIS EPISODE • Keep coolers in the shade • Use SEPARATE coolers for drinks and food (drinks get opened way more often) • Serve from a smaller bowl and refill from the cooler as needed — the reserve stays cold • A bowl of ice under your potato salad extends its safe time on the table • Cover food to keep bugs (and inconsistent hands) out • Bring a food thermometer, always • When you get home from a cookout, EVERYTHING gets reheated to 135°F before eating CYCLOSPORA — WHAT TO KNOW RIGHT NOW • Fewer than 100 confirmed cases in Virginia at time of recording • Transmitted through fecal contamination (water contact on produce is one route) • Washing produce does NOT kill the parasite — good handwashing is your best defense • Symptoms: diarrhea, can last weeks or months and can recur • Treatment: antibiotics and hydration • Suspected source under investigation, possibly leafy greens • Amanda's guidance: DO NOT stop eating fruits and vegetables — just be extra cautious with washing and hand hygiene WHO IS AT HIGHEST RISK FROM FOODBORNE ILLNESS • Elderly adults • Children under 5 • Pregnant women • People with autoimmune conditions or compromised immune systems • For these populations especially, all four pillars matter more.

The GOP is Dropping D E A D Is the GOP in Crisis? Plus Parasites Invade Your Food! The political landscape is shifting fast. Following the reported death of Senator Lindsey Graham, questions are mounting about the future of Republican leadership, the aging U.S. Senate, and whether America should finally have age limits for elected officials. With Mitch McConnell absent from public view amid ongoing health concerns, is Washington prepared for a generational change—or simply refusing to confront reality? Meanwhile, tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate as Iran challenges U.S. policy and global shipping through the Strait of Hormuz faces renewed uncertainty. Are we heading toward yet another prolonged conflict, and what could it mean for Americans? Also on today's show: Cyclospora outbreaks are making headlines. Should you stop eating fresh fruits and vegetables? Absolutely not—but there are smart precautions everyone should take. I'll explain how to reduce your risk while still enjoying a healthy diet.

Food is something most of us rarely think twice about. Whether it's ordering dinner online, picking up groceries on the way home, or buying packaged snacks, we trust that the food we consume is safe. But in today's fast-changing food landscape, how much do we really know about what's on our plate?In this episode of Nutrition Every Day – Season 2, we speak with Ashwin Bhadri, Founder & CEO of Equinox Labs and a National Resource Person with the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), about what every consumer should know about food safety. From understanding food labels and expiry dates to decoding claims like "natural," "high protein," and "sugar-free," we explore how consumers can make more informed choices. We also discuss the rise of online food delivery, the responsibilities of food businesses, and why food safety is about much more than just hygiene. This conversation offers practical insights to help consumers navigate today's food environment with greater confidence and awareness.#NutritionEveryDay #FoodSafety #ConsumerAwareness #FSSAI #FoodQuality #HealthyEating #Nutrition #PublicHealth #FoodLabels #OnlineFoodDelivery #FoodTesting #SafeFood #NutritionForAllCredits:Guest: Ashwin BhadriHost: Shreya MResearch: Alisha CProduced by: The Good SightConcept: The Good Sight

“Food is a tough business,” and Chef Ederique Goudia, founder of In the Business of Food, steps into Detroit is Different to show why love for cooking must meet licensing, safety, strategy, and community care. Known as Chef E, she breaks down how Eastern Market, the Incubator Kitchen, and her workshops support everyone from “a food truck, a lemonade stand or a chain of restaurants” to entrepreneurs selling barbecue sauce “out of their trunk” who are ready to get legal, licensed, and onto bigger shelves. This conversation moves from the real cost of spoilage to the public responsibility of feeding people safely, with Chef E reminding listeners that food “can become dangerous very quickly.” She also explains free food safety manager certifications for Detroit residents, allergy awareness, Ask an Expert sessions, manufacturing, distribution, mental health, social media, and hospitality support. This episode matters because food has always been a gateway into Detroit culture, family, business, and survival. Chef E connects the past of homegrown hustle to a future where Detroit food entrepreneurs can build businesses with knowledge, confidence, and community-rooted support.

Backyard cooks should remember temperature, both internal temperature for cooked meats and how hot it is outside, when conducting Independence Day cookouts or during any hot summer day. Rod Bain with USDA has the story. USDA Radio NewslineSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens when a single notification prevents thousands of dollars in product loss? In Episode 3 of Inside Food Safety, we're on location at The Tampa Club with Executive Chef Thomas Mandzik and Eric Moore from Testo North America to discuss a real incident that occurred just one week after a new automated temperature monitoring system was installed. While away from the restaurant, Chef Thomas received an alert that a walk-in cooler wasn't operating normally. What initially appeared to be a minor issue turned out to be a refrigerant leak that could have resulted in the loss of nearly $20,000 in inventory before anyone returned to work. The conversation expands beyond that story to explore why modern kitchens are embracing technology, how automation supports—not replaces—professional chefs, and why food safety begins long before a health inspection. Topics include: How automated monitoring prevented a major inventory loss The true cost of refrigeration failures Why temperature logs alone aren't enough Leadership, systems, and creating a culture of food safety Balancing technology with craftsmanship in today's professional kitchen What restaurant operators can do to better protect their guests, staff, and business Recorded on location at The Tampa Club in downtown Tampa. Special thanks to Alissa Costello for making that happen! Inside Food Safety is hosted by Carl Fiadini and presented in partnership with Testo North America, exploring the people, technology, and best practices shaping safer kitchens across the foodservice industry.

This week, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington sided with the Center for Food Safety and the Coalition to Protect Puget Sound Habitat in a suit against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The ruling means that nine industrial shellfish operations that were approved by the Army Corps of Engineers off of Washington’s coast are unlawful. The plaintiffs argue that the USACE violated the law when relying on streamlined permitting procedures for the shellfish operations. Kristina Sinclair is the staff attorney for the Center for Food Safety. She joins us to share more.
