Dr. Dana Dittoe: Pre and Post-Harvest Safety | Ep. 54
Season 1 Episode 54
When it comes to food safety, it's crucial to understand the microorganisms that pose a potential threat. Key players include Salmonella, Campylobacter, and E. Coli. When it comes to controlling these harmful organisms, the goal is not only to develop detection methods with higher speed and specificity but also to significantly minimize their presence in poultry products. In this episode, I interviewed Dr. Dana Dittoe for a discussion about the complexities of food safety. She shared some of her vast knowledge and expertise with us, spanning from pre-harvest to post-harvest food safety in the meat industry.
"We've got to start thinking not just about pathogens, which are very important. We want food safety, but we need to consider shelf life as well because our products don't have a very long shelf life right out of the meats."
