    In this episode of Don’t Eat Poop!, our hosts Matt and Francine are, unfortunately, talking once more about poultry and salmonella.

    0:09:47 The unmet USDA salmonella contamination limits

    0:11:58 How poultry should follow other industries' standards

    0:17:56 Lessons from the US beef industry and the EU

    Noteworthy quotes from this episode

    “ While I'm not for ending commercial chicken farming, I am for ending salmonella in one-third or over 400,000 of the cases annually in consumers. You can be for commercial farming and also against poisoning people.” – Matt Regusci


    “ For the industry to take this attitude is just, I believe, irresponsible on their part. It shows, in my opinion, just a total lack of disregard for consumers because they've got the ability to correct it. They're choosing not to [deal with salmonella].” – Francine L Shaw
