In this session, we will hear a final report on the risk of pathogen transfer by wind, followed by research presentations on potential routes of pathogen transference in both lettuce and tomato harvest operations. The session will engage industry experts to help us better understand what these results mean and how they can be used to mitigate cross contamination risks during pre- and postharvest operations. "For a number of years industry food safety programs have included practices designed to reduce the risk of contamination from cartons and other types of packing containers and workers' hands and gloves during harvest and subsequent handling," said Bob Whitaker, the chair of the CPS technical committee. "This session will highlight research that examines these questions along with a final report on a project preliminarily presented in 2012 that demonstrated the potential for pathogens to be transferred from natural feedlots to bordering crops. I really look forward to the discussion of these programs." Projects will be presented by scientists from University of Georgia, University of Florida, University of Massachusetts, and USDA's Agricultural Research Service. This session and others will enable industry to fully evaluate the scientific findings. CPS wants attendees to walk away from this event understanding the importance of these projects and their application. ___________________________________________________________ SYMPOSIUM COUNTDOWN: 12 DAYS!
