NASDA 2020 Educators Roundtable Podcast: Indicators, Index Organisms, and Generic E. coli
Dr. Faith Critzer, Associate Professor and Produce Safety Extension Specialist, Washington State University, faith.critzer@wsu.edu
In this episode, Chris and Michelle talk with Dr. Faith Critzer about the confusion around the produce safety terms of indicators and index organisms. They discuss generic E. coli and what coliforms mean in water testing as opposed to environmental indicators for sanitation. Field sampling and the myth of testing your way to safety is also explored. Faith also points out some new directions research may go to fill the gaps that exist in the scientific literature.

Dr. Michelle Danyluk, Professor and Extension Specialist – Food Microbiology, University of Florida IFAS, mddanyluk@ufl.edu
Dr. Chris Gunter, Vegetable Production Specialist and Professor, North Carolina State University, cgunter@ncsu.edu
