It may not be a fun topic, but the food safety world is not done hearing about the massive daycare e. Coli outbreak in Calgary, Alberta.

Matt and Francine discuss what has unfolded since the last episode was recorded, musing on what will happen next, how the company should have handled things legally and from a PR perspective and how Canadian law might lead to different outcomes than a similar outbreak in the United States.

Also discussed: Francine's book (details below) and Food In Places It Shouldn't Be.

We went with a funny title, but...

... our main topic is not so 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)...

Have you heard?

The venerable food safety publication Food Safety News has reached its 14th birthday. It's ready to start high school!

14 years ago, nobody was talking about food safety except during MASSIVE outbreaks. Food Safety News has been working hard to change that--while also providing nearly limitless content for the Don't Eat Poop podcast.

This week, Matt and Francine pay tribute to this organization (full disclosure: both have written numerous articles for Food Safety News) as well as mapping out potential avenues it might take in the next 14 years.
