Abstract
This project evaluated the microbial quality of water used in packinghouse operations using generic E. coli as an indicator. E coli is not a human pathogen but is used as an indicator of microbial contamination. The data will be useful to potato packers and rule makers in determining best practices for potato postharvest handling.
