title: [Evaluation of the contamination of lettuce crops after the establishment of the monitoring system in Ribeirão Preto, SP].
abstract: This study evaluated the microbiological and parasitological contamination of 88 market gardens producing green vegetables, of which 47 had been investigated previously. The contamination rate was 38.3% in the market gardens previously evaluated and 43.9% in the new market gardens. Food safety requires a continuous and efficient sanitary surveillance system for market gardens.
