	The concept of this roundtable is how regulators, growers and consumers are to deal with food safety risk in fresh produce, when produce is grown in the open, where only some risks are controllable and contamination is likely to occur at some low but non-zero level. Consumers expect all fresh produce to be pathogen free, and regulators acknowledge that some fresh produce risks are uncontrollable but still take regulatory action on any pathogen detection.
