Promoting safe and adequate fruit and vegetable consumption to improve health
FAO and the World Health Organization (WHO) recommend a daily fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake of at least 400 grams/adult. However, low F&V intake has become a global public health problem. The promotion of F&Vs in the International Year of Fruits and Vegetables emphasizes unprocessed or minimally processed F&Vs, which are highly beneficial to health. However, processing can improve food safety, especially from microbiological contamination, and reduce loss and waste. Conversely, F&Vs which are highly processed can undermine the health benefits of F&V consumption.
