Food Safety Action Plan report : 2012/13 targeted surveys : targeted survey investigating bacterial pathogens and generic E. coli in tomatoes.: A104-576/2013E-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. Tomatoes contaminated with bacterial pathogens have been associated with numerous outbreaks of foodborne illness in North America. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations/World Health Organization (FAO/WHO) has ranked tomatoes as the second highest priority group of concern in terms of microbiological hazards among fresh fruits and vegetables. Tomatoes can become contaminated with bacterial pathogens by various ways along the food chain during primary production, post-harvest handling, processing, preparation and storage. As tomatoes are often consumed raw, the presence of pathogens creates a potential risk for foodborne illnesses"--Executive summary, page 2.
