Risk assessment of Bacillus cereus in lettuce grown in open-field and greenhouse farming systems in China:A comparative study

Objectives:Bacillus cereus isolates from vegetables can cause diarrheal syndrome food poisoning.Lettuce,the most highly consumed ready-to-eat vegetable,poses a significant risk of B.cereus exposure.Hence,B.cereus monitoring and evaluation during cultivation are essential for preventing foodborne illnesses caused by this food-pathogen combination.However,the impact of different cultivation practices on B.cereus contamination in lettuce currently remains unclear.Furthermore,a validity indicator for the experimental models cannot be effectively validated under field conditions.Materials and Methods:Herein,we assessed the risk of B.cereus exposure using lettuce grown under two different cultivation farming systems in China(open-field versus greenhouse)using a quantitative microbial risk assessment model.Tukey's mean comparison method and kernel density estimation frequency distribution statistics were used for model validation using environmental samples and lettuce.Results:The mean concentration of B.cereus in open-field-grown lettuce was significantly higher than that in greenhouse-grown lettuce(P<0.05).No significant differences were observed between measured,formula-calculated,and risk assessment values in environmental sam-ples or lettuce(P>0.05),verifying the accuracy of the risk model.Conclusion:Soil solarization,complete manure treatment,usage of mulch films,and irrigation water quality should be considered in agricul-tural practices to control B.cereus concentrations in lettuce.Overall,we found that B.cereus was more abundant in open-field-grown lettuce,and we provide a risk evaluation framework that can guide farmers and policy-makers to control B.cereus contamination in farm-to-fork lettuce chains in China.
