handling fresh produce, raw meat, poultry, or
seafood, as well as after using the bathroom,
changing diapers, or handling pets.

peeling may decrease the
amount of pesticide residues or
harmful microbes on fruits and
vegetables.
• Wash all vegetables with cool
tap water to remove dirt and
residues.
• Scrub firm produce with a clean
produce brush.

Don't wash vegetables with


household soaps and detergents.
• Don't cross-contaminate. Use
clean cutting boards and utensils
when handling fresh produce. Use
one clean cutting board for fresh
produce and a separate one for
raw meat, poultry, and seafood.
• Wash surfaces often. Cutting
boards, dishes, utensils, and
countertops should be washed
with hot, soapy water after coming
in contact withfresh produce or
raw meat, poultry, or seafood.
· Cutting boards and countertops can be
sanitized with a solution of one

teaspoon of chlorine bleach in one quart of


water. Be aware of the
hazards associated with storing and using
bleach, and do not apply the
solution directly to fruits and vegetables.
 Refrigerate fresh produce within
two hours of peeling or cutting.
Discard cut produce left at room
temperature for more than two
hours.
