Why is it important?

This information provides data needed to assess an important microbiological risk in peanuts. Processors can use this to determine roasting (or other kill step) conditions to assure the reduction or elimination of this risk.

Perspectives

The ability to apply appropriate controls for hazards such as Salmonella can significantly reduce the chance of illness in consumers.
