Why does the foodservice operator normally not care for fresh produce that has been in controlled
atmosphere storage? - Answers The produce held in atmosphere-controlled chambers will remain as is
for a considerable period of time. Unfortunately, when this produce is removed from this environment,
it deteriorates very rapidly. Hence, buyers are reluctant to purchase these types of products.
Why should buyers note the min weight per case on their specifications for fresh produce? - Answers
Fresh produce tends to "shrink," or dehydrate, while in transit. Thus, specifying a minimum weight
enables buyers to receive the appropriate amount while simultaneously giving suppliers some shrink
allowance.
Why is the point of origin for fresh produce very important - Answers If buyers shop around, they must
be careful that they understand the differences in quality, texture, appearance, and taste that will
accompany products from different areas of the world.

when would a buyer use a packer's brand in lieu of a U.S. grade when preparing a product specification

have established grading standards. Even if the produce is graded, a packer's brand may be a better
choice because it may indicate that a particular packing process has been used or that a particular
cleaning and cooling process has been followed in the field. U.S. grades may or may not indicate these
attributes, depending on the area of the country the products come from.
