Produce Safety Risks and an Update on Two Ongoing Research Projects - Risks imposed by wild birds and risks associated with EHEC during post harvest leafy greensMar 21, 2023 (1:00 PM - 2:00 PM Eastern Time)
Organized by the IAFP Fruit and Vegetable Safety and Quality PDG
This webinar will focus on two ongoing research projects related to produce safety, "A holistic assessment of the food safety risks imposed by wild birds" and "quantifying risk associated with changes in the EHEC physiology during post harvest pre processing stages of leafy green production". The researchers will provide a synopsis of their current research including background, purpose, methodology and expected outcomes that may assist farmers with mitigating produce safety hazards. They will also discuss previous research that has led them to these research projects and future research that may evolve from these studies.
Learning Objectives: 1. Potential produce safety risks associated with wild birds 2. Potential produce safety risks associated with changes in EHEC physiology during post-harvest pre-processing stages of leafy green production. 3. Potential connections between researchers and industry related to the aforementioned topics
