You’ll Never Look at Pre-Sliced Fruit the Same
Ever grab those pre-sliced fruit packs at the store? A former California grocery manager just spilled some seriously gross tea: he claims stores use fruit that’s about to go bad, then soak it in bleach water to keep it looking fresh. Not only is that sketchy (and not even safe!), but pre-cut fruit is pricier, loses nutrients faster, and has a bigger carbon footprint. Some grocery workers say it’s not true, but honestly, I’m side-eyeing those $10 watermelon bowls now. #Health #BodyHealth #FoodTruths

I worked for Albertsons many years ago and I was in charge of making fruit and vegetable trays and so I can say it isn’t true. I didn’t go out there and pick old fruit. I would always pick the fruit myself and I made damn sure it was good and sweet.

Even if this isn’t totally true, I am sure it is partially true. Why would you cut up the best looking fruit? You can always cut off the bad pieces and only use what looks good. Unbelievably expensive. How lazy are people?

Your fruit would smell like bleach if they actually did that

Ugh! I’ll buy the whole fruit, wash it and slice it myself. I’ll make time to do it in my own kitchen. Thanks.

Mr Sweeney, unless you can name a store or supermarket that actually does what you claim most do, I am highly skeptical about your claim and others should be too.

I have noticed an unusual taste in the watermelon I have bought a day or two after my purchase. Almost a sour taste too much for my taste so in the trash it went.

That presliced fruit I'd gross anyway. Why pay more for nasty fruit? I've never gotten one that tasted good.

I never buy any pre sliced anything. Fruit or vegetables at the grocery store. I always figure they are cutting up what’s about to become bad and selling it at a higher price because they had to pay someone to cut it up

I believe they take advantage of the bad inventory first. Rat partially eaten and all. Sell you the other part due to how disgusting it is to prepare.
