  However, in recent years there have been several outbreaks involving fresh fruits and vegetables. What are the possible methods or routes for microorganisms to contaminate fresh produce?

Answer to Question 1

1 . Acidity
2 . Temperature
3 . Oxygen
4 . Moisture

Answer to Question 2

- Cross contamination is the biggest issue
- Several foodborne pathogens are present in soil and some fruits and vegetables grow in or very close to the soil
- Similarly, if farm equipment is not sanitized periodically, it may become contamination
- Some farms may not limit access of wild or domesticated animals into the area where produce is grown- this is a hazard for food safety
- Raw manure is another vector responsible for foodborne pathogens in produce
