Another great video. Lots of product not getting to the containers.

Very true I work at one of these plants, only im in the receiving/raw materials area. And we're not just spring mix, were majority iceberg and romaine. A cleaning crew comes in at night and cleans and sanitizes the entire plant bc some forms of lettuce carry bacteria if left to heat. First thing in the morning the entire plant is immaculately cleaned and sanitized, then the process starts over again.

Makes you appreciate how much work goes into what seems like a simple box of spring mix that you buy every week. The washing and drying is interesting to me because that is one of the biggest conveniences these boxes offer when it’s time to make a quick meal.

I know they put chlore on regular salad bags but the question if they use chlore on spring mix‼️ and what do u mean by sanitized water
@Theproducenerd2 жыл бұрын
Are you referring to Chlorine? If so, yes, it’s a very commonly used sanitizer in wash water in the produce industry, in general, and especially with leafy greens. If you purchase a container/bag of greens (including spring mix) that’s labeled as having been triple-washed, that means it’s been washed with chlorine or an equivalent.

how long does it take for lettuce from farmed to shipping?
@Theproducenerd5 жыл бұрын
It depends, but in all cases, the grower/packer/processor is going to want to get the harvested/packed/processed product ran through the facility and to the customer as quickly as possible since lettuce has such a short shelf-life.

Hi, will you be able to tell if bleach is used in the so called sanitized water?
@Theproducenerd4 жыл бұрын
That is a good question! Chlorine is a common sanitizer that is used. Companies do not include what sanitizer they use on their labels, but you can tell if the lettuce has gone through the triple-rinse, by there being some sort of indication that the lettuce is ready-to-eat, triple-washed, washed, or something of that sort on the label.

@@Theproducenerd Is it necessary to wash these salads before eating them? If it's been triple-rinsed I don't see any reason to wash it again but their are a lot of people out here who think it's gross to not wash these salads again. So what's your take?
