- •
STEC O104:H4 has no superior persistence capacity on dry or germinated fenugreek seeds compared to other E. coli variants.
- •
Seed contamination previous to the distribution from the importer may be less likely than previously assumed.
- •
A short treatment with bleach can completely sterilize fenugreek seeds without affecting their germination capacity.
- •
Bleach treatment of the seeds maintains the integrity and safety of seeds and fresh produce during production.
