of food safety concerns was evaluated using the method
described in Bakin et al. (1) by inversely weighting rankings
to ranked priorities. Weighted scores were calculated for each
concern by summing the weighted rankings across responses.
RESULTS
North American pecan sheller demographics
In total, 23 completed surveys were collected from pecan
shellers. Responses included shellers from seven states in
the United States (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas) and two states from
Mexico (Fig. 1). The states that were most represented with
pecan shelling operations were Texas (7/23) and Georgia
(6/23). Survey respondents identified primarily as owners/
managers of the shelling operation. Of the 23 responses,
52.2% (12/23) of them shelled <1 million lb annually, 34.8%
(8/23) shelled between 1 and 10 million lb annually, and
13.0% (3/23) shelled between 26 and 50 million lb annually.
The percentage of a firm's revenue from pecan shelling
operations varied from US$5 million, with
the highest being >US$5 million (17.4%, 4/23) followed by
US$1000000 to US$4999999 (13%, 3/23) and 4 h (31.2%, 5/16). One of the respondents that
identified as using a conditioning step did not provide a
length of time. Of the operations that use conditioning water,
58.8% (10/17) used a sanitizer in their conditioning water.
Chlorine-based sanitizers such as sodium hypochlorite
(40.0%, 4/10), chlorine dioxide (30.0%, 3/10), and calcium
hypochlorite (20%, 2/10) were the most commonly used
sanitizers in conditioning water, with one operation reporting
using peroxyacetic acid (PAA; Fig. 3). When evaluating the
use of sanitizers compared with the hot water sterilization
