14 - Food Safety and Cancer

The Cancer Dietitian Podcast

Today's topic is Food Safety and Cancer. This is a webinar that I presented a few days ago. It’s almost an hour of talk about food safety, which is a topic that has more recently seen a lot of interest. I downloaded the recorded audio, so you’ll have to excuse the lower quality of this episode!

In this episode, I discuss the following:

• Food Safety 101
• Special notes for immune-compromised
• Cancer survivor recommendations
• Current evidence regarding COVID-19 and food safety
