The Produce Contamination Problem: Causes and Solutions, Third Edition is a fully revised resource on preventative controls at all stages of handling, including the use of new technologies for the inactivation of pathogens in both water and commodity. The book begins with an analysis of the contamination problem to identify novel research designed to understand the interaction of human pathogens. Outbreak characteristics vulnerable to contamination are discussed, along with global issues surrounding production. This new edition includes updates on regulatory issues and the newest advances in technologies for the detection of pathogens, whole genome sequencing, and utility in test and hold programs.
- Includes new information on sustainable production practices, including aero-farming
- Presents information on preventative controls at all stages of food handling
- Provides information on the use of the latest technologies for the inactivation of pathogens in water, and on commodities
