#Begin with clean hands. Wash your hands for 20 seconds with warm water and soap before and after preparing fresh produce.
#Cut away any damaged or bruised areas on fresh fruits and vegetables. Produce that looks rotten should be discarded.
#All produce should be thoroughly washed before eating. Wash fruits and vegetables under running water just before eating, cutting or cooking.
#Even if you plan to peel the produce before eating, it is still important to wash it first.
#Washing fruits and vegetables with soap or detergent or using commercial produce washes is not recommended.
#Scrub firm produce, such as melons and cucumbers, with a clean produce brush.
#Drying produce with a clean cloth towel or paper towel may further reduce bacteria that may be present.
