Hi Jyllian:

 

Yesterday, CNN has an article that you may be interested in with handling food products prepared by adding liquid nitrogen at the point of sale, immediately before consumption.  https://www-m.cnn.com/2018/08/30/health/liquid-nitrogen-food-fda-warning/index.html?r=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F

 

Here is a link directly to the FDA about it: https://www.fda.gov/Food/RecallsOutbreaksEmergencies/SafetyAlertsAdvisories/ucm618058.htm

 

Hope this information is helpful!

 

Elham

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Restaurant use of liquid nitrogen for ice cream?

 

Hi all,

 

A colleague, Kerri Jansen, is working on a video about using liquid nitrogen to make ice cream in a restaurant-type setting. Do any of you have experience with safety standards for this, or can you point us to a possible source? We want to make sure we do this well.

 

Some of the questions Kerri is looking to answer are:

 

Would safety guidelines for liquid nitrogen use in a restaurant differ from the standards set for lab use? If so, what differences would be taken into consideration?

 

What is the proper way to handle liquid nitrogen in a restaurant setting, from a safety standpoint? (Said differently, what can consumers look for to know the liquid nitrogen used to prepare their food is being handled safely?)

 

You can reply to Kerri directly at k_jansen**At_Symbol_Here**acs.org.

 

Thank you!
Jyllian
