Podcasts about Food safety

Transcript [Music] From Washington State University Extension, this is Food Safety in a Minute. Recently, the Food and Drug Administration released the 2026 Food Code with new standards for food donations from retail food operations. The changes address food waste reduction efforts across the country, including food donations from grocers, restaurants, and other retail food operations. The Food Code: • Defines proper temperature control before donation. • Describes protection from cross contamination during storage and transport. • Requires clear identification and handling of donated foods. And • Requires consistent application of food safety practices regardless of whether food is sold or donated. Food operations will manage food donations as part of their entire food safety management program; supporting sustainability and safeguarding the prevention of foodborne illness of hunger-relief efforts. Thanks for listening, I'm Susie Craig. [Music] Resources FDA Releases 2026 Food Code with Updates on Food Defense, Employee Illness, Food Safety Management. Food Safety Magazine.

Worried a recall means the food in your fridge is unsafe? Carlye Gilbert, MSN, RN, CIC, Director of Infection Prevention at Bergen New Bridge Medical Center, explains how to check FDA and CDC recall lists and perform a quick risk assessment for your household. Learn which recalls involve pathogens versus undeclared allergens, how to read use-by dates, when to discard versus cook, and questions to ask deli counters or food vendors.

On a recent episode of the AgNet News Hour, Dave Puglia, president and CEO of Western Growers, joined the show from the Florida Fruit & Vegetable Association convention to discuss several major issues facing specialty crop producers across the country. Trade remains near the top of that list. Puglia said Western Growers supports extending the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, but wants changes involving Mexico, including stronger labor enforcement and increased food safety oversight. He noted that the impact of Mexican imports varies considerably by crop and region, making changes to the trade agreement particularly complicated for specialty agriculture. Food safety was another major concern following the recent cyclospora outbreak. Puglia said uncertainty surrounding the source caused market losses well beyond the products ultimately implicated, with lettuce, berries, carrots and other produce categories affected as consumers reacted to conflicting information. Puglia argued that FDA needs to communicate more quickly and clearly during outbreaks, while the produce industry also needs to improve its ability to counter misinformation through social media. The conversation also turned to the Farm Bill, where Puglia highlighted several provisions important to specialty crop growers. Among them are efforts to make crop insurance and other risk-management tools available to more specialty crops and potentially cover losses resulting from events such as food safety outbreaks outside a grower's control. He also pointed to funding for mechanization research and changes that could improve how economic assistance reaches specialty crop producers. Puglia also addressed California's restrictions surrounding autonomous agricultural equipment. After seeing a driverless tractor operating in a Florida vegetable field, he contrasted that with the regulatory limitations California farmers face when attempting to deploy similar technology. Later in the program, USDA Under Secretary for Farm Production and Conservation Richard Fordyce discussed changes to Agriculture Risk Coverage and Price Loss Coverage programs, including the addition of 30 million base acres and enrollment deadlines producers need to know.

Nutrition misinformation can make eating disorder recovery feel increasingly confusing. Social media warnings about sugar, carbohydrates, seed oils, processed foods, toxins, inflammation, and “clean eating” often sound scientific, even when they rely on fear, exaggeration, or missing context. In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne discusses how nutrition myths and conflicting food advice can intensify food anxiety, orthorexia, ARFID, anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and the binge-restrict cycle. She explains why people with autism, ADHD, OCD, health anxiety, sensory sensitivities, and interoceptive differences may feel especially vulnerable to rigid or fear-based nutrition claims. What You'll Learn Learn how to distinguish legitimate food-safety concerns from eating disorder rules disguised as wellness advice. Dr. Marianne examines the different meanings of “safe,” including medical safety, sensory safety, emotional safety, and the moralized version of safety promoted by diet culture. You will also hear common warning signs of nutrition misinformation, including claims that one ingredient causes many unrelated health problems, promises that eliminating a food will transform your health, and advice that becomes increasingly restrictive. Dr. Marianne explains how algorithms, personal testimonials, AI-generated nutrition advice, and wellness marketing can make unsupported claims feel credible. Food Safety, ARFID, and Neurodivergent Eating For autistic people and individuals with ARFID, packaged foods, familiar brands, frozen meals, snacks, and nutritional drinks may provide sensory predictability and reliable nourishment. Labeling these foods as toxic, fake, or unhealthy can remove foods that already feel accessible. Real food-safety guidance addresses specific concerns such as allergies, contamination, food recalls, refrigeration, cross-contact, and cooking temperatures. Fear-based nutrition advice often turns a limited risk into a universal warning and leaves people afraid to eat. Eating Disorder Recovery in an Age of Food Confusion Dr. Marianne offers practical ways to evaluate nutrition advice without strengthening compulsive checking or dietary restriction. She discusses creating a small circle of trusted sources, pausing before eliminating foods, identifying conflicts of interest, and noticing whether advice increases flexibility or makes your relationship with food more fearful. Eating disorder recovery does not require perfect nutritional certainty. Adequate nourishment may matter more than following constantly changing wellness rules. Food can support you through pleasure, culture, convenience, affordability, predictability, and sensory comfort. Content Cautions Nutrition misinformation, food contamination, food allergies, vomiting, choking, restrictive eating, orthorexia, binge eating, purging, and compulsive exercise.

Six years of experts. One question asked every single time, and a pile of predictions that either aged beautifully or fell apart on contact with reality. Some of the boldest claims came wrapped in credentials, while some of the quietest answers turned out to be the ones worth keeping. Year six was when the wellness conversation got loud enough that discernment became the real skill.On this episode of The Next Frontier Files, Jenn Trepeck plays back year six of the next frontier in wellness answers and hands-down verdicts. Fat cells that remember your old weight. Menopause research that still has not arrived. Peptide therapy sitting next to skin tanning in the same sentence. Artificial intelligence in medicine, and the guest who predicted the backlash a year before it happened. Plus a hydrogen claim about living into the thousands that deserves the raised eyebrow it gets.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ Why fat cell memory rewrites the RNA of your cells and makes weight maintenance harder after rapid loss, especially after GLP-1 drugs✅ How genetics and the microbiome shift with your environment, which is why one-size-fits-all advice keeps failing✅ What methylation risk scores and biological age testing could unlock as they move toward FDA approval✅ The difference between a wearable data point and the time, care, and listening that actually changes outcomesThe Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry.

Food recalls and food safety outbreaks can be frightening. But what happens when fear causes people to avoid fruits and vegetables altogether?On this episode of SacTown Talks, Hector Barajas sits down with registered dietitian, cookbook author, and food and agriculture expert Amy Myrdal Miller for a wide-ranging conversation about food safety, nutrition, consumer fear, and the importance of keeping fruits and vegetables at the center of a healthy diet.The discussion begins with the recent Cyclospora outbreak linked to lettuce from Mexico and addresses how consumers should think about recalls, outbreaks, and food safety warnings.Amy explains why it is important to look at the specific product, source, brand, and growing region involved rather than assuming an entire food category is unsafe. She also encourages consumers to rely on trusted sources, such as the FDA and CDC, for accurate information.The conversation then turns to a much larger public health issue: Americans still do not eat enough fruits and vegetables. Amy discusses why fear and misinformation can worsen the problem, how food safety events can affect consumer behavior long after an outbreak ends, and why fresh, frozen, canned, and other forms of fruits and vegetables can all play an important role in a healthy diet.Hector and Amy also talk about the changing way consumers think about food, including convenience, sustainability, price, and health; the need to tell more positive stories about farmers and farmworkers; California agriculture; Farm to School programs; and what policymakers can do to support both food safety and the people who produce our food.Amy also shares a simple message for families shopping for produce: buy what you love, try something new, and make fruits and vegetables a bigger part of your cart and your daily meals.The episode closes with a discussion of her cookbook, Cooking á la Heart, and her passion for making healthy eating flavorful, approachable, and enjoyable.Buy the cookbook here: https://www.farmersdaughterconsulting.com/book-cooking-a-la-heart/

Is artificial intelligence about to transform agriculture more than any other industry? On Season Seven, Episode Four of The Food Professor podcast, Dr. Sylvain Charlebois and Michael LeBlanc sit down with Aidan Connolly, President of AgriTech Capital and past president of the International Food and Agribusiness Management Association (IFAMA), one of the world's leading voices on agtech and the future of farming.Aidan helped Alltech grow from roughly $25 million to $2.5 billion in revenue and now connects startups, investors and agri-food companies to help innovation scale. He separates agtech hype from real value, explaining why vertical farms, cell-cultured meat and insect farming struggled, and why AI's potential in agriculture may exceed any other sector if the industry can solve its farm data problem. He shares his DRIVE framework for AI adoption and weighs in on data ownership, cooling agtech venture capital, mega-farms and food traceability. Then he ranks countries on an S-to-D agtech tier list. Find out why Canada earns a B, Israel an A, and what Canada can learn from the Netherlands and New Zealand. You'll also hear Aidan's magic-wand fix for turning Canada into an agri-food superpower.In the news, Michael and Sylvain unpack a good week for Canadian agri-food policy. Canada's investment summit focused on energy and infrastructure. Even so, Farm Credit Canada's $1 billion project financing initiative, $150 million in agri-food capital and a new productivity tax break for small and medium-sized businesses could help farmers and food processors invest in automation and R&D. Sylvain argues a more productive, competitive food sector is Canada's best answer to U.S. tariffs.The hosts also weigh EU associate membership, the CETA payoff for Canadian cereal exports to Europe, and why Canada should say "yes to all" trading partners. Agriculture makes up just 1.9% of Canada's growing trade with China, while Chinese tariffs on Canadian peas add uncertainty.On grocery prices, food inflation has eased to 2.8%, but prices are up 28.9% since September 2021. Sylvain explains why food price volatility is the real enemy, with Canada logging 17 month-to-month drops in five years, the most in the G7. They also cover beef imports up 13%, with Australia and Brazil gaining, easing cattle prices, and why high diesel costs could add 0.4 percentage points to food inflation this winter.Plus: the return of Yves Veggie Cuisine under Maple Leaf Foods, crisis communication lessons from the Taylor Farms outbreak and the Silk recall, why the CFIA should declare when a recall is over, and a fun Dairy Farmers of Canada pop-up café on Toronto's Queen Street.Like, subscribe and share The Food Professor for weekly insights on food prices, agtech, trade and Canadian agriculture, and watch the full video episode now on YouTube.

Send us Fan MailFood safety sounds simple until you try to grow and sell real food as a small farmer. I'm Noah Sanders, a Christian farmer and off-grid homesteader in Alabama, and I'm wrestling out loud with a question that hits every local food producer sooner or later: do government food safety regulations actually create safer food, or do they mostly centralize power and squeeze out the very farms that are easiest to trust?We talk through the real-life side of compliance, from eggs and cottage food laws to poultry processing exemptions and the paperwork maze that small producers have to navigate just to serve their neighbors. I share why my goal is never to lower standards, and why I want my farm to be the kind of place any customer can visit without me feeling nervous. But I also explain how “one size fits all” rules are often written for industrial agriculture, and how that can quietly favor large companies while limiting local, relationship-based accountability.Then we dig into worldview. After FSMA-style produce safety training, I noticed how much attention goes to compost, manure, and sterilization, and how little is said about chemical exposure and the difference between sterility and a healthy microbial ecosystem. From there, we zoom out to a biblical worldview of government, Romans 13, and the idea that authority and responsibility belong together, with accountability for negligence rather than preemptive control that restricts freedom.If you care about Christian farming, homesteading, local food systems, regenerative agriculture, or the future of small farms under modern regulation, this conversation will give you clear categories and plenty to think about.

FSMA 204 brings new record-keeping requirements to foods on the FDA Food Traceability List, but the path to readiness is broader than a single compliance project. In this episode, Liz Sertl chats with Hilary Thesmar, Chief Science Officer and Senior Vice President, Food Safety, at FMI. Hilary explains how critical tracking events (CTEs) and key data elements (KDEs) fit into the rule, why each supply chain participant is responsible for its own records, and why companies need to be ready to provide FDA with an electronic sortable spreadsheet within 24 hours when records are requested. She also outlines practical first steps: form a cross-functional team, assess current systems and data, align around GS1 Standards, begin with ready suppliers and a small set of products, then expand as the process proves out. The conversation also covers data quality, warehouse and inventory system changes, supplier readiness, exception handling, and business uses for better traceability data, from returns and invoicing to labor and inventory visibility. It closes with a look at where AI may help future traceability work and Hilary's favorite use of AI outside the office.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Daniel Aaron discuss the inadequate oversight of food additives by the FDA, particularly the agency's GRAS or "Generally Recognized as Safe" process, which allows unsafe additives to reach the market without proper scrutiny. Dr. Aaron highlights industry conflicts of interest, the lack of reporting requirements, the need for stricter regulation to protect public health, and discusses what is needed for the FDA to be better able to make impactful changes.     Key Takeaways: The majority of food additives in the US are not vetted by the FDA. Since 1958, food additives have been presumed safe until proven otherwise.  The Clean Eating movement in the US is indicative of the skepticism of the American food supply.  While the FDA used to maintain a list of GRAS substances, today, reporting to the FDA is not required.  Europe uses a more precautionary approach to food additives. The EFSA must approve all chemical substances prior to their use in foods.  Food additives are known to cause synergistic harm. However, the FDA poorly regulates single additives, so it is not surprising that its consideration of interacting chemicals is insufficient.   "The FDA is the most accountable to corporate power. The largest impediment, in my view, to food regulation is funding. FDA's Food Center has been underfunded for decades. Further funding from Congress is needed, but our legislators often are supported by industry that doesn't necessarily want a more robust review of food additives." —  Daniel Aaron, M.D., J.D.   Episode References:  Bystanders to a Public Health Crisis: The Failures of the U.S. Multi-Agency Regulatory Approach to Food Safety in the Face of Persistent Organic Pollutants by Katya S.

Food recalls are making headlines with increasing frequency, creating challenges that extend far beyond removing products from store shelves. In this episode of The Edge of Risk podcast by IRMI, Marty Detmer, US national practice leader for product recall and contamination at Aon, discusses what triggers a recall, why events like cyclospora outbreaks can be so difficult to manage, and the operational, financial, and reputational risks organizations face. It's a timely conversation for anyone involved in agriculture, food production, or the food supply chain.

Between E. coli in blueberries, glass in popsicles, and that dreaded cyclospora, this summer was all about keeping a wary eye on the groceries in the fridge. But how does the recall data stack up against previous years? And are federal cuts to food safety agencies to blame? Flora talks to food safety expert Brian Ronholm to get the big picture.Plus, more than 1.5 million cars have been recalled this year for risk of bursting into flames. As automotive journalist Jason Torchinsky explains, it's a miracle it doesn't happen more often.Guests:Brian Ronholm is the director of food policy at Consumer Reports.Jason Torchinsky is an automotive journalist and co-founder of Autopian.Transcript will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Trump's Wild Weekend: If This Happened on a Plane, They'd Tape Him to the Chair A passenger aboard a flight from Tucson reportedly became so disruptive—using racial and homophobic slurs and behaving aggressively—that he ultimately had to be restrained. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump spent part of the holiday weekend posting a barrage of unusual material on Truth Social, including maps depicting Canada, Mexico and other territory under the American flag and repeated posts promoting the idea of renaming New Mexico “New America.” On today's The Karel Cast, Karel asks the provocative question: If behavior this erratic would get someone restrained on an airplane, what happens when it comes from the president of the United States? The episode examines Trump's social-media posts and the constitutional reality behind them—including the fact that a president cannot simply rename a state. Changing New Mexico's name would require changing the state's constitution, a process involving New Mexico voters. Then it's back to Southern California, where Hurricane Marie remained hundreds of miles offshore but still brought rain, dangerous surf and coastal flooding concerns over the holiday weekend. Long Beach's Peninsula was hit by powerful waves, and officials closed the boardwalk because of unsafe conditions. Karel lived in Long Beach for years—and his reaction to seeing his former home in the national news may surprise you. Plus, another food-safety warning: more than 1,500 pounds of imported pork guanciale were recalled because of possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination, with the USDA classifying the recall as Class I. People.com What is happening with America's food supply? What do recalls actually tell us about the effectiveness—or failures—of the food-safety system? And when something goes wrong, who is actually responsible: producers, regulators, Congress, or the administration in power? Politics, food, extreme weather and one extraordinarily strange holiday weekend—it's all on today's The Karel Cast. Join the conversation in the comments.

Brought to you by Testo North America When contaminated produce enters the food supply, finding where it came from is only the beginning. On this episode of Inside Food Safety, Eric Moore is joined by returning guest Kiley Harper-Larsen to examine recent Cyclospora and Salmonella investigations involving lettuce, jalapeños and the growing list of finished products affected when a single ingredient moves through a complex supply chain. The conversation goes beyond the recalls themselves. What food-safety standards apply to produce grown outside the United States? What are importers actually required to verify? How does an investigation move forward when laboratory testing doesn't provide a clear answer? Why can a recall continue expanding long after the original problem is discovered? And how much can a chef or restaurant operator realistically know about where their ingredients came from? Eric and Kiley break down the realities of foreign supplier verification, FDA oversight, third-party audits, processing, repacking and traceability, while examining where vulnerabilities remain in both domestic and imported food systems. Because when an ingredient can travel from a farm to a packing house, importer, processor, distributor and eventually a restaurant kitchen, one question becomes increasingly important: Who is responsible for making sure it's safe? Inside Food Safety with Eric Moore Presented by Walk-In Talk Media Featuring returning guest Kiley Harper-Larsen Key Takeaways • Food safety responsibility is shared across the supply chain. Growers, packers, importers, processors, distributors, restaurants and regulators all play a role. • Domestic and imported food are legally expected to meet the same U.S. safety standards. The difference can be how those standards are verified and enforced throughout the supply chain. • Recalls often expand because investigators are discovering where the original ingredient went. An expanding recall does not necessarily mean new contamination is being found each time. • Cyclospora and Salmonella can present very different investigative challenges. Testing speed, incubation periods, epidemiology and traceability can significantly affect how quickly investigators identify the source. • A laboratory result is only one part of an outbreak investigation. Epidemiological evidence and traceback can still help investigators identify a likely source when product testing does not provide a definitive answer. • Repacking creates major traceability challenges. Once products from multiple farms, lots or suppliers are combined and repacked, identifying the original source can become significantly more difficult. • Restaurants cannot realistically know every farm behind every ingredient. Strong relationships with reputable suppliers and approved vendor systems become critical when problems emerge. • Traceability remains one of the biggest challenges. Faster, clearer product tracking could help investigators identify affected products and remove them from the food supply sooner. • The biggest vulnerability may be the system itself. Food safety depends on many interconnected parts working correctly at the same time, from farming and water management to processing, importing, distribution and restaurant operations. For chefs and operators, the practical question is simple: Know who you're buying from. Ask where products are coming from. Understand how seriously your suppliers take food safety and traceability.

Across the United States, a quiet crisis is unfolding inside our food supply chain. Sweeping budget cuts, staff reductions, and systemic deregulation under the Trump administration and DOGE have severely weakened the key public health agencies tasked with keeping our food safe—the FDA, USDA, and CDC. With critical surveillance networks like FoodNet scaled back, staff numbers slashed across vital departments, and advisory panels disbanded, our early warning system for dangerous foodborne pathogens is being dismantled.
