Lance Price and Matthew Wellington

In our March 2023 episode, Matt Wellington interviews his co-host, Dr. Lance B.

First, we hear about how these infections occur in people and some steps we can take to mitigate our risk. Next, Dr. Price addresses the “shared responsibility” of reducing the spread of E. coli and other foodborne pathogens and describes how government agencies can do their part through enhanced surveillance and vaccination research. To wrap up the episode, Dr. Price offers his outlook on our whole food system and highlights other opportunities for improvement.
