The United States Food and Drug Administration?s (FDA) proposed water rules to implement the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) could leave some growers, especially those who rely on an irrigation system based on recycled water, unable to irrigate fresh produce with their irrigation water, especially those who rely on an irrigation system based on recycled water. Irrigation water could be treated with chlorine, ozone, or other product to reduce the bacterial load in the water; however, at present not one of these options has been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency for treating irrigation water. In an attempt to reduce the number of bacteria present in irrigation water entering a farm, a simulated filter pond was constructed using gravel,... |

The Food and Drug administration has expressed concern that Onions (Allium cepa) irrigated with water contaminated with high rates of Escherichia coli could harbor E. coli on their surface or interior. On the other hand, since onions contain antimicrobial compounds and field conditions may not be conducive to E. coli survival, the E. coli population on the surface of onions might become negligible through the course of field curing. Further, the relationship between the E. coli in the irrigation water to the E. coli on onion bulbs after field curing, harvest, and packout has not been studied. To determine if E. coli should be of concern in onion production, we sought to measure the die-off of E. coli on onions between the last irrigation and harvest and... |
