What Does It Take to Clean Fresh Food?

Clean fresh produce.

- Rinse under running water. For extra protection, adding one part
vinegar or lemon juice to the three parts water helps, but you don't
need to use any soap, detergents or special cleaners. It is important to
rinse food even if you are going to peel it.

- Use a scrub brush to remove additional dirt and bacteria.

- Cut out bruised or damaged areas; bacteria can thrive there.

- Dry produce with a clean cloth or paper towel to wipe off more
bacteria......
