Food Safety, Episode 1 – Jake and the Crackers

3-year old Jake Hurley ate a package of ordinary peanut butter crackers from a Portland, Oregon supermarket and soon fell seriously ill. He wasn’t allergic to any of the ingredients, and he didn’t have a virus. In fact, it was peanut paste tainted with salmonella that led to days of sickness for him and worry for his parents, Peter and Brandi. In this episode, Milwaukee native Nick Woods introduces the issues around food safety, the Hurley family, and the attorney who brought their case all way to Washington D.C.
