This week, we go full C-SPAN...Frank Yiannis (former chief of the "food" side of the FDA) has testified on Capitol Hill about the bacterial contamination at a Michigan plant that led to a baby formula shortage last February.Babies, we hope it doesn't need to be said, should not be getting sick from drinking formula.Yiannis agrees, and his no-holds-barred testimony took industry and government alike to task for allowing this to happen and pointing toward reforms to be implemented to avoid a repeat.Join Matt and Francine for commentary on Yiannis's testimony, musings on the issues it raises, and no shortage of jokes. Because that's simply how they roll.Relevant links:https://www.c-span.org/video/?520583-1/fda-commissioner-testifies-baby-formula-shortage https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Yiannas-Testimony_-House-Subcomm_March-27-2023.pdf https://www.foodsafetynews.com/2023/02/baby-formula-recalled-over-concerns-of-cronobacter-contamination/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2023/03/20/gerber-infant-formula-recall-cronobacter-concern/11507913002/ https://www.fda.gov/media/77065/download https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2022-10-26/new-tiktok-trend-of-mouth-taping-during-sleep-carries-dangersWe hope you enjoy this episode!Be sure to subscribe to Don't Eat Poop on your favorite podcast app, leave a review and share the podcast with your friends!We'd love to hear from you!Follow Francine, Matt and the show on LinkedIn and let us know what you thought of the show.
