Microbial Contamination Risks From Adjacent and Nearby Land: Evidence and Implications for Produce Safety. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Consumers’ demand for fresh produce is rising due to dietary preferences and public health campaigns. Fresh produce is often consumed raw or minimally processed to retain nutrient content. If contaminated, fresh produce can become a vehicle for pathogen transmission and potentially cause outbreaks.
