Evaluation of post-harvest processing of tomatoes were carried out in NJ, MD and FL. APC and TC counts in post-processed samples were significantly lower. No significant difference for E. coli was observed between pre and post-process. APC and TC counts were positively correlated; no correlation was seen for E. coli. Postharvest washing can increase cross-contamination if not properly practiced.
