Food safety is a major concern with prepared and ready-to-eat (RTE) foods. Since prepared and RTE foods are meant to require no further processing, the presence of pathogens can be profoundly dangerous, and even fatal. Preventing pathogenic harborage is vital to the food safety of RTE foods. In fact, over the past several decades, there have been “several severe and high-profile outbreaks of food-borne illness linked to the consumption of RTE foods,” which “prompted the USDA and FDA to issue stringent rules and regulations governing the manufacturing of RTE foods.”*
