Abstract

SUMMARY: Foodborne outbreaks from contaminated fresh produce have been increasingly recognized in many parts of the world. This reflects a convergence of increasing consumption of fresh produce, changes in production and distribution, and a growing awareness of the problem on the part of public health officials. The complex biology of pathogen contamination and survival on plant materials is beginning to be explained. Adhesion of pathogens to surfaces and internalization of pathogens limits the usefulness of conventional processing and chemical sanitizing methods in preventing transmission from contaminated produce. Better methods of preventing contamination on the farm, or during packing or processing, or use of a terminal control such as irradiation could reduce the burden of disease transmission from fresh produce. Outbreak investigations represent important opportunities to evaluate contamination at the farm level and along the farm-to-fork continuum. More complete and timely environmental assessments of these events and more research into the biology and ecology of pathogen-produce interactions are needed to identify better prevention strategies.

In HIC, the proportion of outbreaks of foodborne disease attributed to fresh produce has increased since the 1980s.
“In HIC, the proportion of outbreaks of FBD attributed to fresh produce has increased in since the 1980s (Lynch et al., 2009).”
From Burden of foodborne disease in low-income and middle-income countries and opportunities for scaling food safety interventions (2023) · cites this paper as Lynch et al., 2009
The Introduction (page not supplied) reports that the proportion of US outbreaks linked to fresh produce rose from under 1% in the 1970s to 6% in the 1990s. It does not establish an increase across high-income countries generally or give the 1980s as the starting point; the Australian figure is for one period only. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
