Fate and mitigation of Salmonella contaminated in lettuce (Lactuca sativa) seeds grown in a hydroponic system.

This study shed light on the serious food safety implications that Salmonella-contaminated lettuce seeds might entail in a hydroponic farming environment and demonstrated rose bengal-mediated PDI as a potential mitigation strategy. These findings contribute to the increasingly relevant field of urban farming systems and their associated food safety concerns.
