Five General Produce Safety Rules
- Start with a clean kitchen, including cutting surfaces, colander, knives and sink.
- Wash your hands well before handling produce.
- Rinse produce under cold running tap water. In some cases, you’ll want to use a brush for extra cleaning.
- Blot dry with a paper towel or clean cloth to further reduce any pathogens that may be present.
- Wash fruits and vegetables right before you plan to eat them. Washing and then storing them can promote mold and bacterial growth.
