Food Microbiology - Targeted Surveys - Final Report - Bacterial Pathogens on Mangoes and Papayas - April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2016

​A targeted survey analysed 4,710 samples of mangoes and papayas for Salmonella, E. coli O157, Shigella, and generic E. coli. All mango samples (100%) and over 99% of the papaya samples were satisfactory. E. coli O157 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 Canadian Food Inspection Agency conducted appropriate follow-up activities. No illnesses were reported in association with any of the positive samples.
