Descripción
This report was prepared in response to a request to FAO/WHO from the Codex Committee on Food Hygiene (CCFH). In undertaking new work on an Annex to the Code of Hygienic Practices for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables (CAC, 2003) for melons, CCFH requested a Call for Data and an evaluation of the pathogen-specific hazards associated with various types of melons, the role of various agricultural and manufacturing practices in enhancing or mitigating these hazards, and influences of marketing and consume r handling. The report includes a literature review of microbial safety and the melon supply chain and data received from the FAO/WHO call.
