Remember
Food
Safety at Farmer's Markets
Posted 19 July 2010
IDPH is currently
investigating more than 10 illnesses that may be related to a freshly
prepared fruit and vegetable product sold at a farmer’s market in
east-central Iowa. While farmer’s markets are an excellent source of
fresh fruits, vegetables and other healthy foods, it’s important to
remember that any freshly prepared fruit and vegetable product that is
not properly refrigerated can be a potential health risk because they
can allow bacteria to grow.
Because of warm temperatures, Iowans should be especially aware of food
safety at farmers markets:
- Be aware that any
freshly prepared fruit or vegetable product, such as hummus, salsa, cut
fruit salad, and guacamole can be a potential health risk if not
handled correctly.
- All these products
must be kept refrigerated, both before and after the sale.
When shopping at a
farmer’s market, always remember:
- Only buy products
from vendors who keep freshly prepared fruit and vegetable products
cold, either in refrigerator units or on ice.
- Once purchased, keep
freshly prepared fruit and vegetable products cold. If you plan to
spend a lot of time at the market, bring a cooler or ice pack for
storage.
- When you arrive home,
place these products immediately in the refrigerator and eat within
days.
- Any freshly prepared
fruit or vegetable product that is not properly refrigerated should not
be eaten, and should be discarded.
