Pink chicken isn't always undercooked. Color is unreliable in poultry — bones, smoke, brine, and pigments can all fool you. What matters: 165°F at the thickest part. A $10 thermometer settles it. tastingtable.com/2167449/why-ro… #FoodScience #FoodSafety

Fiber sodas. Fiber gummies. Fiber chips. Every CPG brand is racing to slap grams on the front of the pack. The winners don't shout the highest number. They make fiber feel like an upgrade, not a compromise. That's stealth health! tinyurl.com/54v2j9hr

A quiet privilege of working at the intersection of food ingredients & the supplement industry is being invited to judge the NutraIngredients-USA Awards, which honor the best in the field and culminate in a celebration in Chicago on July 13, alongside the Annual IFT Meeting.

My wife, Denian, died at home, on Sunday, 30 July 2023. She was diagnosed with glioblastoma in March 2018. The last five years have been fulfilling. She saw births of two more grandchildren. She attended wedding of our second son. She pointed to me pretty spots on our walks.

The 2023 Annual Meeting of @IFT opens with an inspiring address by CEO, Christie Tarantino-Dean.

3. So, where does that service fee charged by @DoorDash, @Grubhub, @caviar, @UberEats and their likes go to, @wilfredchan / @FastCompany? How do we get such firms to pay gig workers more equitably?

2. Delivery work & driving should not be a gamble! Thx to @kjacobs9 (UCChair, @UCBLaborCenter) for revealing that @DoorDash & other delivery/rideshare firms don't even pay minimum wages to gig workers who rely on our tips for their livelihood.
