Another round of questions about why the food industry keeps making the same mistakes — and whether the tools to fix them are already sitting on the shelf, ignored.\n\nIn this episode of Don't Eat Poop!, Francine and Matt dig into a Salmonella cantaloupe recall, the science of why cantaloupes are such a high-risk product, and a sanitizer that's been EPA- and FDA-approved for years but still can't get traction in the industry. Plus: Francine's heading to the Food Safety Summit to talk norovirus in retail, and the stories from the field are exactly what you'd expect from Don’t Eat Poop.\n\nSpoiler alert: The solutions often exist. The problem is getting a risk-averse, relationship-driven industry to actually use them.\n\nIn this episode:\n\n00:00:00 Novovirus in Retail\n00:06:57 Cantaloupe Salmonella Recall Breakdown\n00:11:58 Hypochlorous Acid: The Sanitizer the Industry is Ignoring\n00:19:04 Chemical Distribution & Conflict of Interest\n00:30:25 Norovirus Incidents in Grocery Stores\n\nDisclaimer: Episode title and content do not constitute legal or health advice.\n\nResources from this episode\nIs It Time for a “Kill Step” for Pathogens on Produce at Retail?
