Fresh produce is often a vehicle for the transmission of foodborne pathogens such as human norovirus. Thus, it is recommended to wash the surface of produce before consumption, and one of the most common ways to wash produce is by rinsing under running tap water. This study determined the effectiveness of removal of human coronavirus‐OC43 (HCoV‐OC43), as a surrogate for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus‐2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) and murine norovirus‐1 (MNV‐1), as a surrogate for human norovirus, from contaminated lettuce, apples and cucumbers.
