Resumen
Descripción
The Almond Board of California proposed to require that all almonds shipped from California
handlers be treated to achieve a 4-log reduction in the pathogen that leads to salmonellosis. The
Assurance program is expected to add several million dollars to transactions costs in the almond
marketing system. There is a wide range in these cost estimates, mainly because of the difficulty
in predicting how many firms will be interested in applying for the program.
