The significance for human health of Salmonella (non-typhoid) in cereal grains.
Identification and establishment of the levels of food safety pathogens on fresh produce.
Evaluation of viable but not culturable (VNC) state of various foodborne pathogens.
The relative likelihood of illness from Salmonella transmitted via food or other pathways and changes in likelihood with different poultry product.
Report of a microbiological survey of ready-to-eat, intact and fresh-cut vegetables and fruits.
Report on the microbiological quality of hydroponically grown vegetables from throughout New Zealand.
The purpose of a Risk Profile is to provide contextual and background information relevant
to a food/hazard combination so that risk managers can make decisions and, if necessary,
take further action.
Report of a microbiological survey of pathogens on fresh produce of export importance (lettuces and apples).
Enteric viruses other than hepatitis A virus and Norwalklike viruses have occasionally been implicated in foodborne disease. These include: Rotaviruses, astroviruses, hepatitis E virus, picornaviruses, adenoviruses and parvoviruses.
The aim of this report is to describe the epidemiology, investigation and control of a hepatitis A (HAV) outbreak in New Zealand. Descriptive and analytical epidemiology, virology, product traceback and an orchard investigation were carried out
