Be extra careful with Purchased fruits and vegetables you plan to eat raw.

The produce at your supermarket that’s most likely to have been imported are tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, avocados, melons, grapes, and tropical fruits like papayas and mangoes.


How to handle raw fruits and vegetables more carefully:


1. Don’t eat produce with visible signs of decay.

2. Rinse and scrub the skin or rind of fruits and veggies. Even if you don’t plan to eat the skin or rind, your knife can transfer bacteria from it to the flesh of the produce. Always use a clean knife and cutting board, and wash them frequently.

3. Fill a big bowl with water and add a couple spoonfuls of white vinegar, soak your fruit or vegetables in that vinegar water for a minute or two, then rinse.
