Typically, on average, fresh produce accounts for roughly half of all the number of outbreaks that we have in the U.S. This shows how significant fresh produce is in food safety.
Ten years ago, it was a different thing. People weren't so wanting to have that information. Right now, they go looking for it. Consumers are increasingly demanding transparency in food sourcing.

Whole genome sequencing has really changed the game. This technology allows scientists to better detect and trace the source of foodborne illness outbreaks.
