From Netflix to Behind Clean Lines: Bill Marler on Food Safety, Outbreaks & Accountability
A brand new episode of Behind Clean Lines is live, and this one brings a perspective you don’t often hear inside the industry.
This time, host Mikkel Svold sits down with Bill Marler, a world-leading foodborne illness attorney, featured in Netflix’s Poisoned. For more than 30 years, he’s been on the front lines of major contamination outbreaks, fighting for accountability and safer food.
Here’s what you’ll take away from this candid conversation:
- Tracebacks made clear: How whole-genome sequencing is changing outbreak investigations.
- Shared responsibility: Why manufacturers must work hand-in-hand with suppliers to prevent contamination.
- Design & hygiene innovation: How smarter processes and equipment help stop pathogens like Listeria.
- Accountability: Who can be held accountable if disaster strikes?
Bill Marler pulls back the curtain on where food manufacturers are most vulnerable — and how to close those gaps before they lead to lawsuits. His advice?
Build resilient processes, strengthen your supply chain, and cultivate a food safety culture that prevents problems from reaching the consumer.
