What are the essential micro testing requirements for high-care fruit packing?

Hi
Please can I get some advice.
What micro should I be looking at on high care fruit - so the fruit comes in decontamination wash then outer layer removed, chopped then put into RTE snack pots.
I understand Salmonella, Listeria & Ecoli but I was wondering on Yeast and Moulds
Thanks

Your primary targets will be micros that are classified as pathogens, for safety.
For purposes of quality you may also do some yeast and mold testing, or other spoilage micros. High loads of spoilage micros can impact shelf life significantly, and result in increased consumer complaints related to flavor and texture even if there is no visible problem.
