TL;DR: The study shows that the occurrence of pathogenic bacteria and TCB in the products analysed was quite low, Nevertheless, the results indicate that the type of products analysed may contain pathogenicacteria and thereby represent a risk to the consumers in regard to food-borne diseases.

TL;DR: The results support spent irrigation water as the most suitable matrix for testing for bacteria, and unsprouted seed is considered the more useful matrix for analysing for parasite contaminants.

TL;DR: The objective is to investigate bacteriological quality in organically grown leaf lettuce, including the presence of selected pathogenic bacteria, and to obtain information about organic lettuce production, including fertilizing regimes.

TL;DR: In this article, the status of food safety management systems (FSMSs) implemented at primary production companies of fresh produce, to examine the potential differences between companies operating in European Union (EU) and non-EU (developing and emerging) countries, and to explore the underlying factors.

TL;DR: The published literature is reviewed, covering not only bacterial but also viral and Eukaryote food pathogens, to assess the status and potential of HTS implementation to inform stakeholders, improve food safety and reduce outbreak impacts.
