GAPs
principles summarized as follows: clean soil, clean water, clean hands, and
clean surfaces. Examples of applicable procedures are listed below. These
principles must be applied to each phase of production (field selection,
pre-plant field preparations, production, harvest, and post-harvest) to be
effective.
“Clean soil” involves taking steps to reduce
the possibility of introducing microbial contaminants into the soil,
particularly via manure and other animal excrements. GAPs address the need to
properly compost, apply and store manure. Additionally, the exclusion of
domesticated animals from production fields is essential in helping to reduce
the possibility of faecal contamination. Taking steps to minimize the presence
of wild animals in fields is also important.
“Clean
water” entails making sure all water used in washing, cooling and processing is
of drinkable quality. Packing ice should also be made from drinkable water.
Ground and surface water sources need to be protected from runoff and animal
contamination. Water used for irrigation and foliar applications also needs to
be free of human pathogens. Regular water quality testing may be necessary,
particularly for surface water sources.
“Clean hands” applies to workers and
the use of good personal hygiene in the field and packing house. Providing
washing facilities for customers at U-Pick operations is also an important
consideration.
“Clean
surfaces” means ensuring that all packing bins, work surfaces, storage areas,
and transportation vehicles are properly washed and sanitized on a regular,
often daily, basis. Farm equipment should also be routinely cleaned and
sanitized. An essential aspect of GAPs procedures is accurate record keeping.
While keeping records is an important part of any farm operation, it can become
critical in cases of food safety issues. When food-borne illnesses do occur,
attempts are made to trace the contamination back to the point of original.
Growers who document their GAPs procedures will be able to provide evidence
that their farm is an unlikely source of the outbreak.
