Unpack the myths and realities of organic foods with us as we sit down with food safety expert Kiley Harper Larsen and food-inspired traveler Pooch Rivera. Have you ever wondered if organic produce truly offers a healthier or more environmentally friendly option? We promise to enlighten you as we explore these common misconceptions and dive into the recent organic carrot recall by Grimway Farms. Pooch gives us a taste of his latest culinary adventures, sharing intriguing experiences from the Pizza Tomorrow Summit and the World Food Championship in Indianapolis, including a glimpse into the future with a high-quality pizza vending machine.

In our engaging conversation, we tackle the pressing issue of food safety, discussing the intricate details of recalls and outbreaks.
