Buying Pre-Cut Fruit? Check Where the Store Keeps It
Grocery
A tub of pre-cut watermelon can save time, but check that it’s refrigerated or displayed on ice before it goes into your basket. The FDA recommends buying pre-cut or packaged produce that’s kept cold.
Pick up chilled items near the end of your trip and refrigerate them when you get home. Keep the produce in a separate bag from raw meat, poultry or seafood so the packages don’t come into contact.
If you want something to carry without refrigeration, buy a suitable whole fruit and cut it when you’re ready to serve.
