Fruit Development, Ripening & HarvestWhat should happen if mango fruit is visibly contaminated with animal feces before harvest?
Do not place the affected fruit into the normal harvest stream or rely on ordinary washing to make it acceptable. Identify and manage the contamination according to appropriate produce-safety guidance. Inspect the surrounding area and prevent cross-contamination, while keeping this food-safety decision separate from evaluating an unrelated cosmetic mark on the peel.
