In the present study, the cross contamination and distribution of Escherichia coli O157: H7
was investigated in fresh-cut lettuce by simulating a commercial process at a pilot plant …

A stochastic simulation modelling approach was taken to determine the extent of
Escherichia coli O157: H7 contamination in fresh-cut bagged lettuce leaving the processing …

Fresh-cut iceberg lettuce inoculated with Escherichia coli O157: H7 was submitted to
chlorine washing (150 mg/mL) and modified atmosphere packaging on laboratory scale …

The ability to predict the behavior of Escherichia coli O157: H7 on contaminated field lettuce
is essential for the development of accurate quantitative microbial risk assessments. The …

Leafy green vegetables, including lettuce, are recognized as potential vehicles for
foodborne pathogens such as Escherichia coli O157: H7. Fresh-cut lettuce is potentially at …

Lettuce and spinach inoculated with Escherichia coli O157: H7 were processed and
handled in ways that might occur in commercial situations, including variations in holding …

Escherichia coli O157: H7 risk associated with the consumption of fresh cut-cos lettuce
during Australian industrial practices was assessed. A probabilistic risk assessment model …

Escherichia coli O157: H7, an occasional contaminant of fresh produce, can present a
serious health risk in minimally processed leafy green vegetables. A good predictive model …

This project was undertaken to relate what is known about the behavior of Escherichia coli
O157: H7 under laboratory conditions and integrate this information to what is known …

Leafy vegetables, including lettuce and spinach, have been implicated in several outbreaks
of foodborne disease caused by Escherichia coli O157: H7, a pathogen of increasing public …
