food safety

Food plays a big role in this economy, and we’ll dig in to some industry niches in today’s episode. First up: Unilever is cutting ties with its ice cream brands, including Ben & Jerry’s and Breyers. We’ll also chew on Trader Joe’s recalls and chocolate bunny inflation. Plus: geothermal energy on Chicago’s South Side and NCAA women’s basketball.

Krystal and Saagar discuss the never ending leak of classified documents found in Biden's office and home, Karine Jean Pierre insisting no compromise with Republicans on Debt Ceiling Limit, George Santos caught using a different name on camera, Banks begin storing money ahead of an imminent recession, FDA's failures on American obesity, and a look at the Davos elite now meeting at the World Economic Forum.
