The premise of \u003ci\u003eThe Produce Contamination Problem\u003c\/i\u003e is that when human pathogen contamination of fresh produce occurs, it is extremely difficult to reduce pathogen levels sufficiently to assure microbiological safety with the currently available technologies. A wiser strategy would be to avoid crop production conditions that result in microbial contamination to start.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese critical, problem-oriented chapters have been written by researchers active in the areas of food safety and microbial contamination during production, harvesting, packing and fresh-cut processing of horticultural crops, and were designed to provide methods of contamination avoidance. Coverage includes policy and practices in the United States, Mexico and Central America, Europe, and Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karl Matthews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0124046118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780124046115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.48h x 7.93w x 1.21d","brand":"Karl Matthews","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44119384064255,"sku":"9780124046115","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0d14b54b-0dbb-41d9-911b-df31963b8bac.jpg?v=1687409055","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-produce-contamination-problem-karl-matthews-9780124046115","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
