I. Introduction
In 1998, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued its “Guide to Minimize
Microbial Food Safety Hazards for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables.” The practices outlined
in this and other documents are collectively known as Good Agricultural Practices or
GAPs. GAPs provide general food safety guidance on critical production steps where
food safety might be compromised during the growing, harvesting, transportation,
cooling, packing and storage of fresh produce. More specifically, GAP guidance alerts
the entire supply chain, including fruit and vegetable growers, shippers, handlers,
packers, processors and buyers, to the potential microbiological hazards associated with
various aspects of the production chain including: land history, adjacent land use, water
quality, worker hygiene, pesticide and fertilizer use, equipment sanitation and product
transportation. The vast majority of the fresh tomato industry has adopted GAPs as part
of normal production operations. Indeed the majority of fresh tomato producers undergo
either internal or external third-party GAP audits on a regular basis to monitor and verify
adherence to their GAPs programs. These audit results are often shared with customers as
verification of the producer’s commitment to food safety and GAPs. While the produce
industry has an admirable record of providing the general public with safe, nutritious
fruits and vegetables, it remains committed to continuous improvement with regard to
food safety.
