23 IDEAL PRODUCE STORAGE Refrigerate 33F 40F No: tomatoes, potatoes, onions, basil. Yes: most other fruits, herbs, vegetables. Sometimes: pears, apples. Helpful Considerations Unprotected items can dry out or freeze if placed to close to evaporator coil fans in cooler. Items could become warm if placed near a continually opening/closing door. Never place items on floor because 6 sides of box best exposed to cold as well as for food safety.

24 BE AWARE OF ETHYLENE Ethylene is a naturally occurring gas produced by ripening fruit. Apples, and melons can all ripen quicker if exposed to ethylene. They all naturally produce ethylene. Some produce is sensitive to ethylene and can be prematurely aged, i.e. broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, cucumbers, squashes, peppers, and even carrots.

25 PRODUCE SAFETY Always place potential contaminants like meat products on a lower shelf. Do not allow items needing refrigeration to warm up unless ready to wash, cook or serve. Do not wash produce before it is served or stored because water/moisture can dramatically reduce shelf life. Always use a clean knife and cutting surface if cutting produce to be served. Never use a cutting surface or knife that was just used to cut raw meat or fish or other contaminants unless disinfected first.
