    Below are food safety tips to keep in mind when shopping for fresh fruits and vegetables:
    • If you go to a farmers market, go early to avoid produce that has been sitting out all day long.
    • Buy most produce in season when possible.
    • If you are not satisfied with the store's selection, ask the produce manager if there is more available.
    • Buy loose produce rather than packaged so you have more control over what you select.
    • Don't purchase produce with mold, bruises or cuts.
    • Buy only the amount of produce that you will use within a week.
    • Buy only pasteurized juices.
