Smoothies – a healthy boost?

Fresh fruit and vegetable juice, and smoothies are enjoying growing popularity among health-conscious consumers. Gentle preparation of raw ingredients carries nutritional benefits, in terms of vitamin contents for example. However, it also comes with the hidden danger of microbial contamination, for instance with verocytotoxin-producing E. coli (VTEC). 
Continuous monitoring of such products is therefore essential to protect consumers, especially those in at-risk groups.
