Produce Food Safety FROM RECEIVING TO SERVING
M
artin Bros. has a quality program for produce that helps us keep poor quality items from entering our supply chain. Because we receive a variety of produce from all over the United States and some from other countries, as well, there are many unique quality issues that we look for.
Danny Johnson, Martin Bros. Produce Quality Control Manager
Gretchen L. Robinson, RDN, LD, Martin Bros. Marketing Dietitian
Receiving
Serving
Each morning, every incoming produce truck is inspected by Martin Bros. On a typical day, we inspect four to six produce trucks. Temperature is the first thing that we look for, and we continue to check for it throughout the receiving process. Produce dates are also checked to ensure that we have enough time on the product to guarantee our customers a minimum of five days of usage. Overall, our team has identified crucial items that are closely monitored, and this list of items changes with the seasons and growing conditions in different regions. Inventory is rotated using the FIFO (first in first out) method based on date of receiving, and produce quality is checked daily. Banana quality is probably the number one item that we receive questions about. Banana ripeness is judged on a scale of one through seven. Stage one is green right off the tree, while seven is almost banana bread. We like to receive our bananas between a stage three and four. This gives us a fifty/fifty green to yellow and a more yellow than green banana.
14
These stages help us pass on a banana that should ripen up nicely for our customers. If you ever have issues with bananas being overly green, all you need to do is keep them in the case and in a warm area. With issues of bananas ripening too quickly, take them out of the case and leave them in a cool area.
All fresh produce except commercially washed, pre-cut and bagged produce must be thoroughly washed. Even if you plan to peel or otherwise alter the form of the produce, it is still important to remove soil and debris first. keep these guidelines in mind:
When prepping produce,
• Avoid cross-contamination. Be sure to wash, rinse and sanitize the counters and food contact surfaces the produce will touch. Be sure not to expose the produce to raw meat, seafood or poultry. • When washing produce, remove outer leaves. Pull leafy greens such as lettuce and spinach completely apart and rinse thoroughly. Do not use soap, detergent or other surfactant to wash produce.
• When soaking or storing produce in standing water or an ice-water slurry, do not mix different items or multiple batches of the same item together. Pathogens on one kind of produce can contaminate other types of produce. You want to do everything to minimize this risk. • Many pre-cut, bagged produce items are prewashed. If so, these items will be identified on the package and can be used as ready-to-eat without further washing. • Refrigerate and hold sliced melons, cut tomatoes and cut leafy greens at 41°F or lower. Many operations hold other fresh-cut produce at this temperature, as well. • Any cooked fruit or vegetable that is not part of a more complex recipe will need to be heated to a minimum internal temperature of 135°F. From receiving to serving, produce has a long way to go. We can all do our part to make sure produce gets to your patrons’ plates as safely and with as much amazing presentation as possible!

Finding the right team members is not easy, especially when it’s hard just finding people to apply for your position! Join us as we talk about ways to recruit candidates and make sure your message is consistent and clear. Once you have them in the door for the interview, it’s time to start promoting your culture through a formal, planned interview process. However, your push for instilling culture doesn’t stop there. From their first day through their first year, it takes work and dedication to make sure your team stays engaged. Presenter: Erika Kramer, LNHA; Martin Bros.
