Ep. 212 [Bonus] - A Very Viral Episode with Don Scaffner and Ben Chapman, Podcasts Hosts of Food Safety Talk

This is a crossover episode

Don Schaffner and Ben Chapman, host of the Food Safety Talk Podcast have both been busy doing interviews about well, COVID-19. Everyone from popular national news, to local news, to celebrity chefs are asking about how coronavirus will affect food. Mainly, can it survive on food in any way, shape or form? Don and ben tell us what they’ve found.  Ideally, the lessons for this episode is how you can make informed decisions using science.

I’m really glad they both took the time to do this episode with me. I ask them a lot of questions on what’s happening right now as I feel they are one of the most knowledgable food industry experts on the topic. So questions like who we should follow and what are the best practices to be comfortable about it, are all answered in this podcast.

A disclaimer, if you’re never heard of the Food Safety Talk podcast, take a listen. We have a lot of their energy in this podcast. Mainly the fact that they sometimes go off really funny tangents. If you want to get to my questions, go to minute 33:00. If you enjoy Food Safety Talk, I left 30 minutes of familiar content in the beginning.

We’ll be having a few more COVID-19 episodes in the near future. I think it’s a very important topic right now and the best I can do in this situation is to share as many perspectives as possible.
