write a report based on the $2023$ Salmonella outbreak in cantaloupes. Identify any topics you wish to focus on and conduct further research.

Continue your research using whatever additional resources you wish. Remember to record source information to cite in your final report.

Read the Purposes and Types of Report Formats section from the Purdue University OWL website carefully. Pay particular attention to all the subsections. This will help you prepare and format your report formally and correctly.

Phase Two:

Begin drafting your report. You are preparing this report from the perspective of a consulting firm who has been retained to help identify and correct the issues that have led to a serious quality and$/$or safety incident.

Remember to refer to APA Formatting and Style Guide recommendations.

Remember to include an Abstract or Executive Summary section, which will appear at the beginning of your report, but which you will write as the last step of the content creation. The Abstract or Executive Summary will summarize the steps that you have used and identify the recommended solutions $$ this is where your writing should really shine, because a busy executive will only continue reading the report if the summary contents are interesting enough to lure them further.

Create your Index and your Reference List.

Phase Three:

Finalize the content and formatting of your report and save it as the main document. You may use $$Final Report: xxxxxxx $($company name$)$ or something similar as the file title.

Rough notes, sketches and any TQM tools, or other supporting documents may be included in your submission as DRAFT contents, separate from the main report document. Please note: You are not required to use digital forms of the TQM tools. Your copies$/$images may be in $$rough$$ form, prepared by hand.
