#36 Hosts Sarah Marshall & Sarah Masoni Discuss the Current COVID-19 Pandemic and the Food Industry

Published: April 1, 2020, 4:44 p.m.

b'Operating from their homes like the rest of the planet, Sarah and Sarah do a special show dedicated to exploring the current pandemic situation and the aftermath when COVID-19 is contained. Already, grocery stores are open, but six-foot markers on the floors and even the sidewalks outside are becoming standard. Cornell University\'s Risk Management List has put together the contemporary "Bible" for food processing. Number one is, no surprise, hand sanitizing for all. That means units at all entrances, exits and transition areas. Gloves are a great safety item, whether working in a plant or going shopping. You CAN wash and re-use them if you\'re careful. And when you go shopping, better to use a phone app or credit card than money that\'s been circulated. Bleach needs to be used correctly; remember it\'s concentrated and needs to be diluted. PH strips can be used to test the water to check the balance. For those with food products, shipping has changed. Sarah Marshall says curbside drop off is becoming common when picking up supplies, no more going into the warehouse. And there are are supply problems, too. Some producers can\'t get certain ingredients, so Sarah Masoni recommends change your recipe and produce anyway. The product may not be exactly the same, but your fans will understand.\\n\\n"Masoni and Marshall the meaningful Marketplace" with your hosts Sarah Masoni and Sarah Marshall\\n\\nWe record the "the Meaningful Marketplace" inside NedSpace in the Bigfoot Podcast Studio in beautiful downtown Portland.\\n\\nAudio engineer, mixer and podcast editor is Allon Beausoleil\\n\\nShow logo was designed by Anton Kimball of Kimball Design\\n\\nWebsite was designed by Cameron Grimes\\n\\nProduction assistant is Chelsea Lancaster\\n\\n10% of gross revenue at Startup Radio Network goes to support women entrepreneurs in developing countries thru kiva.org/lender/markgrimes\\n\\nListen to the "Masoni and Marshall the meaningful marketplace" live on-air every Friday at 9:00am pacific time on Startup Radio Network at startupradionetwork.com'
