Food Microbiology - Targeted Surveys - 2012 - 2016 Bacterial Pathogens on Mangoes and Papayas - Final Report
A targeted survey analyzed 4,710 samples of mangoes and papayas for bacterial pathogens such as Salmonella, Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7, Shigella, and generic E. coli. All mango samples (100%) and over 99% of the papaya samples were satisfactory. E. coli O157:H7 and Shigella were not found on any samples tested. Salmonella was found on the surface of two papaya samples and seven papaya samples had high levels of generic E. coli. The CFIA conducted appropriate follow-up activities. No illnesses were reported in association with any of the positive samples
