Produce and Delivery Information Sheet


• Fruit and vegetables delivered should always be the best quality available on the day

• All produce must be stored in a dry, dark and cool environment

• Check all boxes on the day of delivery

• Most fruit continues to ripen off the tree – open up your cartons and ascertain which fruit is
  ready for eating today and which fruit you will keep for later in the week

• Check your bananas – if they are ripe eat them today

• You will receive at least one piece of produce per child and staff member per day

• Fruit is a natural, living, breathing product and will always be subject to spoilage – about 5%
  can be expected per delivery

• If you have time chop your fruit up. The schools that cut the fruit into bite sizes are enjoying
  huge uptake from the children

• New Zealand stone fruit comes in boxes with no lids

• Some varieties of pears are eaten hard (did you know pears ripen from the inside out? It is a
  good idea cut one open to see if it is ripe)
