It’s not just a “big” producer issue… • Pathogens not equipped with GPS • All growers:

• Bigger growers can make more people sick?
ü Not true – cantaloupe 2011 ü One person sick is too many
Might want to reflect on this…

Cantaloupe symposium • San Diego - January 11, 2011 • Urgent need & commitment to
strengthen food safety in cantaloupes • Stakeholders present • What are the information & research
gaps? • Update current guidelines • Outreach to all producing areas &
abroad

Areas of focus ü What interventions or
treatments can be used to reduce the microbial loads on the surface of cantaloupes?
ü What is the prevalence of Lm throughout the supply chain?
§ Quantitative risk assessment
ü What roles do biofilms play?
§ Sanitation programs
