IMPORTANTGENERAL PRODUCE INFORMATION
Juicing fruits and vegetables requires that the highest quality standards be maintained.
This is also important for handling all produce and salad bar items. Failure to maintain
these high standards can lead to the growth of bacteria which can be harmful to your
customers. By following the procedures in this manual you can operate a safe and
profitable juicing business.
CONDITION OF PRODUCE
Use only fresh, high quality produce from reliable vendors;
DO NOT use rotten, spotted, molded, or old fruit for juicing.
DO NOT use juicer as a cull disposal program for your produce.
DO NOT juice skin type produce (tomatoes) with splits in them. All of this will increase
harmful bacteria growth; such as, Salmonella, E. Coli, etc.
DO wash all produce with clean, fresh, drinking water only.
DO keep all produce cold (40°F). This will inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
DO keep in cooler until ready to juice.
JUICE HANDLING
Make sure that the containers and lids for filling are sanitized. Also, it is best to use the
smallest containers possible to prevent spoilage before consumption. Filled containers
should be refrigerated (34°-40°F) immediately after filling; if put on ice, make sure entire
container is submerged. Limit shelf life for produce juice to one day in the store. Juice
every day; do not produce excessive juice inventory.
Juice must be consumed within three days.

GENERAL PRODUCE INFORMATION
NOTE: All fresh produce must be washed thoroughly and kept refrigerated
before juicing to maintain high juice quality standards. Culls must never be used.
Types of produce
Apples
All types; we recommend Washington Apples. Best if three different types are blended
equally, e.g. Red Delicious, Golden Delicious & Granny Smith.
Carrots
All types; but, California varieties are the best. Remove green portion. Some extra large
diameter (horse) carrots may have to be cut up.
Pineapple
Remove stem and peel.
Grapes
All types and blends. Remove stems to get a less bitter taste. Seedless grapes are
preferred.
Celery
Remove top leafs and bottom core.
Tomatoes
Don't use low acid varieties and make sure there are no splits in skin.
Both conditions may allow fast, harmful, bacteria growth.
Pears, Nectarines, & Peaches
Remove all pits; may not give satisfactory juice due to thick consistency, but can be
used for blending with other fruits like apples and oranges.
Strawberries, Cranberries, Blueberries
All types.
Kiwi
Peeled only.
Rhubarb, Spinach
For blending with other juices only; do not drink unblended because of their high oxalic
acid content. Never use Rhubarb leaves due to high oxalic acid.
Melons
Caution:
Never juice melons because of their high pH which encourages harmful
bacteria growth such as Salmonella.
Citrus
Not recommended due to the high peel oil content of the skin. Use the Fresh'n
Squeeze™ Multi-Fruit juicer for citrus.
