p(blue).(Editor's note: This chat is over, but the transcript is available to read here. And join Kim for another Table Talk chat, most Thursdays.)
The recent egg recall is only the latest food fiasco in the United States; every month something new — from spinach to beef patties to peanut butter to cookie dough — is pulled from store shelves for health and safety reasons.
This week on Table Talk, Kim welcomes Bill Marler, a litigator who specializes in food-safety issues and an outspoken proponent of tougher regulation in the area of food production.
They'll be discussing food-safety legislation under congressional review and more, on Thursday, September 9, at 3 p.m. ET, noon PT. (Note: This is a new time for the chat.)
Bring your questions, suggestions, and observations. Sign up below to receive an email reminder.
Kim, a trained chef and longtime food journalist, brings ideas, tips, and recipes to her live chats — right here at Table Talk, most Thursdays.
