“…In spite of recommendations to limit juice consumption [22], fruit juice contributes to approximately 34% of total fruit intake among youth 2-19 years old [58]. Although consumption of 100% fruit juice within current recommendations provides important nutrients, such as vitamin C, folate, and potassium [22,23], consistent evidence suggests that excess consumption is associated with negative health consequences among children, including increased risk of childhood obesity [59,60], dental caries [61], and type 2 diabetes [5,25,62]. Our findings suggest that pediatric fruit and vegetable prescriptions may be an effective method of increasing the intake of fresh whole fruit and fruit fiber among children, while having little to no influence on the consumption of 100% fruit juice.…”

“…When considering intake of total fruit, which includes 100% fruit juice, it is important to note that fruit juice, which is often less expensive and more accessible, does not necessarily carry the same benefits of whole fruit [4]. Although 100% fruit juice is a good source of important nutrients, such as vitamin C, folate, and potassium [22,23], its high sugar content, lack of fruit fiber, and potential for excess intake are concerning [24,25]. Accordingly, recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) suggest limiting fruit juice consumption to no more than 8 fluid ounces for children 7 to 18 years of age [22].…”

Public health recommendations suggest limiting child consumption of fruit juice in favor of whole fruit due to juice's high sugar content, lack of fruit fiber, and potential for excess intake. However, replacing juice with whole fruit may be particularly challenging for low-income and minority children, who report the highest intake of 100% juice. To address access and affordability challenges among low-income children, researchers partnered with pediatricians in an urban food desert community, to introduce a fruit and vegetable prescription program (FVPP) that provided a $15 prescription for fresh produce to every child during each office visit. Participating vendors included a farmers' market and local mobile market. This study assessed changes in daily consumption of total fruit and whole fruit among 108 pediatric patients following six months of exposure to the FVPP. Child-reported mean daily intake of whole fruit increased significantly from the baseline to the 6-month follow-up (p = 0.03): 44% of children reported an increased intake of at least 1 4 cup per day, and 30% reported an increased intake of at least 1 2 cup per day. Changes in total fruit intake (including fruit juice) were not significant. Results suggest a pediatric FVPP may have meaningful impacts on children's dietary behaviors, particularly with regard to the intake of whole fruits.

“…Biofilm production was reported in drinking water ( Mulamattathil et al 2014 ), while Isoken (2015) reported the isolation of biofilm-forming Salmonella species in cabbage and spinach sold in South Africa. The presence of Salmonella species in food and water provides opportunities for cross-contamination along the food chain and accounts for diseases in susceptible individuals ( Karkey et al 2016 ; Byrd-Bredbenner, 2017 ). Unfortunately, investigation along the critical control points on the food value chain has not been comprehensive.…”

Bacterial biofilms have recently gained considerable interest in the food production and medical industries due to their ability to resist destruction by disinfectants and other antimicrobials. Biofilms are extracellular polymer matrices that may enhance the survival of pathogens even when exposed to environmental stress. The effect of incubation temperatures (25°C, 37°C, and 40°C) and Salmonella serotype on biofilm-forming potentials was evaluated. Previously typed Salmonella serotypes (55) isolated from the gut of chickens were accessed for biofilms formation using a standard assay. Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC 14028TM and Salmonella Enteritidis ATCC 13076TM (positive controls), Escherichia coli (internal control) and un-inoculated Luria Bertani (LB) broth (negative control) were used. The isolates formed no biofilm (11.86–13.56%), weak (11.86–45.76%), moderate (18.64–20.34%), strong biofilms (23.73–54.24%) across the various temperatures investigated. Serotypes, Salmonella Heidelberg and Salmonella Weltevreden were the strongest biofilm formers at temperatures (25°C, 37°C, and 40°C, respectively). The potential of a large proportion (80%) of Salmonella serotypes to form biofilms increased with increasing incubation temperatures but decreased at 40°C. Findings indicate that average temperature favours biofilm formation by Salmonella serotypes. However, the influence of incubation temperature on biofilm formation was greater when compared to serotype. A positive correlation exists between Salmonella biofilm formed at 25°C, 37°C and 40°C (p ≥ 0.01). The ability of Salmonella species to form biofilms at 25°C and 37°C suggests that these serotypes may present severe challenges to food-processing and hospital facilities.
