In addition, illnesses due to Escherichia coli
O157:H7 have also been attributed to low moisture foods such as nuts. These outbreaks underscore the
need to ensure appropriate hygienic practices in the production of low moisture foods.
(...) Epidemiological data with foodborne diseases linked to low moisture foods: a. the frequency of outbreaks or sporadic cases of illness linked to low moisture foods; b. the details of past outbreaks or sporadic cases of illness linked to low moisture foods; (1) Whether the outbreak / cases were confirmed or suspected and how this was determined (e.g.
through laboratory confirmation, identification of risk factor by epidemiological investigation
etc.)
(2) Number of cases, hospitalization and death
(3) Specific health status or risk factors of affected individuals, if any
(4) Causative foodborne pathogens
(5) Attributed low moisture food products
(6) Level of contamination
(7) Any other related information
Note: Please indicate whether there is an operational foodborne disease surveillance system in
place which has been successful in identifying cases of foodborne illness related to low moisture
foods? If not, is there any system in place that would facilitate the detection of foodborne disease
linked to low moisture foods?

What is soil moisture? Soil moisture content is the amount of water in the soil (by weight).
(...) The maximum amount of water that a soil can retain depends on:
the soil’s texture and structure
organic matter content
rooting depth
20×
Soil moisture and food security
Improving soil moisture
Rainwater harvesting
Conservation tillage
As most smallholder farmers in developing
countries rely on rain-fed agriculture, improved soil moisture optimization and
management is crucial.
Many sustainable agricultural and land management practices can improve soil moisture retention:
Over cultivation, overgrazing and
deforestation strain soil and water resources by reducing
topsoil and vegetation cover, and lead to dependence on
irrigated cropping.
