Overview of Pre-Harvest Safety Interventions
ثبت نشده
چکیده
S ince 1993, the beef industry has spent more than $30 million on beef safety research, outreach and education through The Beef Checkoff. Including private industry efforts, collectively, the industry spends more than $550 million annually on improving beef safety. Much of the research has focused on addressing foodborne pathogens at the harvest and processing level. However, researchers, industry participants and producers have also identified the need to expand the industry’s tool chest and focus more research efforts on pre-harvest safety interventions.

However, practices related to on-farm food safety are not sufficiently considered by farmers due to the lack of proper understanding. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the attitude of farmers about sources of contamination and explaining fac...
متن کاملPre-harvest interventions to reduce carriage of E. coli O157 by harvest-ready feedlot cattle.
Escherichia coli O157 is an important cause of food-borne illness. The primary reservoir for this organism is cattle and at present the major site of control is within abattoirs. Recent data have highlighted the importance of the pathogen load entering abattoirs on harvest-ready feedlot cattle. The likelihood for in-plant intervention failure increases as the proportion of cattle carrying E. co...
متن کاملPre- and post-harvest interventions to reduce pathogen contamination in the U.S. beef industry.
Significant effort has been targeted at reducing the risk of pathogens in U.S. beef products since the mid-1990s. These efforts were focused on Escherichia coli O157:H7 after it was declared an adulterant in ground beef or its components. Post-harvest interventions applied to hides and carcasses by beef processors resulted in significant progress. Effective pre-harvest approaches proved hard to...

متن کاملCharacteristics of children's agricultural tasks in Hmong farming communities.
Hmong farm children perform different work tasks, have different roles and responsibilities, and are thus exposed to different hazards than most North American farm children. Hmong children perform tasks in four time-related phases: pre-harvest, harvest, post-harvest, and product marketing. Standard health and safety educational materials, including the North American Guidelines for Children's ...
