Cooking & Baking

I worked in produce and I was always opposed the convenience snack model of sliced and bagged fruit and vegetables. The idea always was promoted as a way to compete with sugary junk food snacks and get people to eat more fruits and vegetables. The problem in my view is that it is a vector for food borne pathogens, especially now with the globalization of the food industry and the effect of deregulation on public health and safety regulation and inspection.
