Cleaning and Sanitizing Surfaces on Produce Farms: Optimizing What, How, and When

Creator:: Ohman, Erik
Abstract:: Production of fresh produce takes place outdoors, and therefore, is exposed to many routes of contamination (e.g., soil, contaminated water, manure, etc.) by human pathogens. Although precautions are taken to reduce this risk, pathogens can be regularly introduced to produce handling facilities. To manage the risk of cross-contamination from potentially...
