India is a diverse country with a diverse climate. We have 4 seasons so according to that, we have the availability of a number of food choices which include a great variety of fruits and vegetables.

After produce is harvested, it passes through many hands, increasing the contamination risk. Contamination can even occur after the product has been purchased, during food preparation, or through inadequate storage.

And not just distribution channels, fruits & vegetables come in contact with the animal and human wastes during the cultivation. Although most people know animal products must be handled carefully to prevent illness, produce, too, can be the culprit in outbreaks of foodborne illness.
