Packaged salad brands are taking proactive measures to combat listeria contamination in order to ensure consumer safety.
Challenges include listeria's ability to grow at refrigeration temperatures and resistance to common disinfectants.
Innovations in food safety include advanced washing techniques, improved sanitation practices, temperature control innovations, enhanced quality control, and consumer education.
The future of food safety in packaged salads may involve artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics, as well as ongoing improvements in protocols and education.
