Preharvest food safety /

Preharvest food safety / edited by Siddhartha Thakur, College of Veterinary Medicine, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina, and Kalmia E. Kniel, Department of Animal and Food Sciences, University of Delaware, Newark, Delaware.

Foodborne outbreaks continue to take lives and harm economies, making controlling the entry of pathogens into the food supply a priority. Preharvest factors have been the cause of numerous outbreaks, including Listeria in melons, Salmonella associated with tomatoes, and Shiga toxin-producing E.coli...
