To make sure you are getting the very best veggies and handling them safely follow these guidelines:

  • Look that produce isn’t bruised or broken.
  • Purchase pre-cut produce ONLY if it is refrigerated or on ice.
  • Wash hands with warm water and soap for 20 minutes before handling produce.
  • Rinse produce with running water even if you plan to peel it.
  • After cutting or peeling produce refrigerate within two hours.
