Canadian Food Network commits health violations galore

Broadcasting & Cable Magazine Asks: ‘Health Warnings’ for Canadian Food Network?

NEW YORK, July 2 /PRNewswire/ — If Food Network Canada were a restaurant, it would be racking up fines for health violations at an average rate of 14 per hour, according to Broadcasting & Cable magazine.

In next week’s issue, the industry watchdog reports on a study by food safety researchers at Canada’s University of Guelph [or should that be “Gulp?”] that found chefs on FNC “constantly violate the most basic rules” on their shows.

“One chef’s knife doubled as a fly swatter” on his show; another “squeezed a lemon with his teeth,” reports B&C.

To be fair to the great chefs of Canada, most of the programming on that country’s version of our own Food Network are produced south of the border in the U.S.

What’s next, asks Max Robins, Editor-In-Chief of Broadcasting & Cable [http://www.broadcastingcable.com]/ — “health warnings” between shows?
