S12: Food Safety Challenges with Plant-Based Foods in Response to Refrigerated Storage, High Pressure Processing, and Pan Frying

Interest in plant-based “meats” has grown appreciably in recent years. However, information is lacking on pathogen presence, persistence, and inactivation in such products, especially for burgers made from a plant-sourced proteins. Learn how interventions can be delivered during the process of creating plant-based burgers to enhance product safety during storage and preparation.
