What is fresh-cut produce?
Fresh fruits and vegetables for human consumption that have been minimally processed and altered in form by peeling, slicing, chopping, shredding, coring or trimming, with or without washing, prior to being packaged for use by the consumer or a retail establishment. Examples are pre-cut, packaged and ready-to-eat salad mixes. Fresh-cut produce does not require additional preparation, processing or cooking before consumption, with the possible exception of washing or the addition of salad dressing, seasoning or other accompaniments.
