Bagged spinach, salad mixes, shredded lettuce and even precut fruit greatly reduce prep time and allows kitchen staff to take care of items that can only be prepared in their facility, but there are some risks involved with these products. ServSafe food managers must look out for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Foreign objects<\/li><li>Spoilage<\/li><li>Signs of insects<\/li><li>Allergen ingredients<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve seen news stories of foreign objects found in bagged lettuce that range from golf balls to dead mice. Sometimes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kiro7.com\/news\/local\/dead-lizard-salad-complaint-sparks-public-health-investigation\/NFBKXUOGEFCQ3BUX2V7H6UOFEA\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">like in a recent story out of Seattle<\/a>, something rare like a deceased lizard actually makes its way to the consumer. In this case, the salad mix in question came from a reputable supplier that appears to triple wash greens and have procedures to prevent foreign objects from making their way into bags, so it just goes to show that no matter how careful your supplier is there may be risks. It&#8217;s not like a lizard make a habit of frequenting kitchens outside of their native habitat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also important for ServSafe food managers to look for signs that your prepackaged lettuce mix has begun to spoil or may have been contaminated with insects at some point during the process. Greens that have started to turn brown, black or have abnormal deterioration should not be served to customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, some companies that produce ready-to-serve salad mixes have varieties of their products that may contain nuts, eggs or dairy. Check the labels and ingredient lists carefully to be informed if a customer with one of the allergies dines at your establishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you take the time to inspect previously washed produce?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A high percentage of ServSafe food managers rely on produce items that are packaged ready to serve, but that doesn&#8217;t mean we can simply look at the expiration date and serve to customers without some sort of inspection process.
