Food Safety Update; Harps and Compost
Stringent food safety requirements have left some Mushroom farmers concerned regarding the requirements for compost pasteurisation. The Australian Mushroom growers association has collated evidence around the typical composting process, including information on included times and temperatures used, plus supporting data demonstrating that this eliminated human pathogens.
After submission to the HARPS stakeholder committee, this composting process has now been formally recognised as an alternate treatment process.
