For years we have been told that fruits and vegetables are good for
us as they provide nutrients and vitamins necessary for our bodies.
As a society we have washed our fruits and vegetables with the
chlorinated water that comes from our faucets believing we are
protecting our families from pesticides and foodborne bacteria
(pathogens).
Furthermore research studies have indicated that chlorine is limited
in its ability to kill bacteria on fruit and vegetable surfaces. The
number of produce-associated foodborne disease outbreaks and the
number of cases of illness due to food pathogens have significantly
increased in recent years (Tauxe et al.1997).
"Contaminated Fruits & Vegetables"
Fruits and vegetables can also become contaminated with
microorganisms, capable of causing human diseases, while still on
the plant or in the orchards, or during harvesting, transport,
processing, distribution or in the home
.
