  • Infant Formula Botulism Outbreak: The Supplier Link l Episode 189
    Oct 20 2026

    Infant Formula Botulism: One Supplier, Two Brands | Episode 189

    Two infant formula brands, made by different companies on different continents, sickened babies with botulism seven months apart. The thing they had in common wasn’t a factory. It was an ingredient, sourced from the same organic whole milk supplier and spray-dried at the same facility, and nobody in the chain was testing for botulism.

    Francine and Matt break down how the outbreak was traced upstream, why “we never tested for that” keeps showing up in outbreak investigations, and what it would take for companies to get ahead of risks they don’t even know exist yet. Spoiler alert: food safety keeps getting treated as an expense until an outbreak forces it to become an investment.

    In this episode:
    💩 01:16 The CDC names the supplier behind the infant formula botulism outbreak
    💩 06:56 The Marler Blog breakdown: one ingredient, two brands
    💩 10:49 The sub-supplier problem: brands may not know where their ingredients originate
    💩 17:09 Risk assessments by product and region
    💩 22:44 Food safety budgets: investment or expense?
    💩 33:31 Francine’s experience auditing for insurance companies
    💩 41:40 From The Jungle to Jack in the Box
    💩 44:54 Matt’s advice: get out of your silo

    In India, Santoshi Muriki watched inspectors stay quiet and management toss her proposals in the trash. In the US, she found unannounced audits, stricter rules, and the same old problem: people cutting corners when nobody's watching.


    In this episode of Don't Eat Poop!, Matt and Francine sit down with food safety manager Santoshi to compare food safety culture in India and the US, from scheduled-only audits and quiet bribes to the risk-based supplier program she built to get ahead of recalls.


    Spoiler alert: Perfect paperwork doesn't prove a strong food safety culture. Sometimes it's the biggest red flag in the building.
