Food Safety Action Plan report : 2011-2012 targeted surveys : targeted survey investigating bacterial pathogens and generic E. coli in leafy vegetables.: A104-543/2012E-PDF

"The Food Safety Action Plan (FSAP) aims to modernize and strengthen Canada’s food safety system in order to better protect Canadians from unsafe food and ultimately reduce the occurrence of foodborne illness ... Leafy vegetables can become contaminated with various foodborne pathogens during production, harvest, post-harvest handling, processing, packaging and distribution. Due to their leafy nature, these vegetables are more easily contaminated than others. As they are often consumed raw, the presence of pathogens creates a potential risk for foodborne illness"--Executive summary, page 2.
