| | FDA/CFSAN (Final) Guidance for Industry: Guide to Minimize Microbial Food Safety Hazards for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables |
 | | Operator means the person or persons who have day-to-day responsibility for the production, harvesting, washing, sorting, cooling, packaging, shipping, or transportation of fresh fruits and vegetables, and responsibility for management of all employees who are involved in each of these activities. |
 | | Good hygiene not only protects the worker from illness, but it reduces the potential for contaminating fresh produce which, if consumed by the public, could cause a large number of illnesses. |
 | | The person with assigned responsibility needs to know how equipment is being used during the day, ensure that it is functioning properly, and take steps to ensure proper cleaning and sanitizing of equipment when needed. |
