We recently shared with you some of the highlights from The Nevada Food Safety Task Force meeting.  One of the speakers or better yet, singers that was in attendance was Dr. Carl Winter.  Dr. Winter led the audience with his humorous and educational food safety music parodies.

Here is his rendition of:  “Don’t Get Sicky Wit it.”

Dr. Carl Winter is the Director of the FoodSafe Program and Extension Food Toxicologist in the Department of Food Science and Technology at the University of California at Davis.  Prior to coming to Davis in 1991, he was Extension Toxicologist at the University of California at Riverside from 1987-91 and science writer for the Richmond-Times Dispatch newspaper in 1985.  He holds a Ph.D. in Agricultural and Environmental Chemistry and a B.S. in Environmental Toxicology, both from the University of California at Davis.  His research and outreach work focus upon pesticide residues and naturally-occurring toxins in foods, food chemical and microbiological risk assessment, and food safety education using music.  He has authored two books and more than 100 publications in both the scientific and lay literature. Dr. Winter gives 40-50 news media interviews annually and has frequently been invited to testify before the U.S. Congress on pesticide/food safety issues.
