Food Microbiology - Targeted Surveys - Final Report - Bacterial Pathogens in Pre-Packaged, Fresh-Cut, Ready-To-Eat Vegetables - April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2016
A targeted survey on bacterial pathogens in pre-packaged, fresh-cut, ready-to-eat vegetables analysed 2,675 samples for Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, Shigella, E. coli O157, and generic E. coli. Salmonella, Shigella, E. coli O157, and generic E. coli were not found in any samples. Listeria monocytogenes was detected in six samples. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency conducted appropriate follow-up activities for the Listeria monocytogenes contaminated samples resulting in product recalls and/or the implementation of corrective actions by the processing facilities. No illnesses were reported in association with any of the Listeria monocytogenes positive samples.
