    Imperfect Produce Delivery<\/h2>\n\n\n

    \n

    <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

    Imperfect produce delivery is a very popular option for consumers. There is a high demand for produce being delivered from farms that have a surplus. The difference with imperfect produce is it\u2019s produce that is otherwise deemed imperfect or not cosmetically pleasing but is still perfectly good to eat and usually shipped in a produce box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    By selling this imperfect produce at discounted rates, consumers and shippers are taking advantage of using produce that might have been thrown away years ago. This helps to decrease food waste and ensures more people are getting the produce they need, in many cases delivered directly to their front door. Consumers can expect a flat rate delivery fee as well as agreed upon monthly service costs for imperfect produce delivery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Imperfect Produce Choices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Imperfect produce choices include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    • Vegetables of all kinds<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • All fruits<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Conventional fruits and veggies<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Organic vegetables and fruits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Misfits Market vs Imperfect Produce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Misfit produce is another definition for imperfect or ugly produce. Misfit vegetables and fruit are blemished, oddly shaped and might be ugly and otherwise picked over at a store. But this doesn\u2019t mean that misfit produce is not good to eat. Hence the new ability to get this type of fruit and vegetables at discounted prices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The difference between a misfists market vs imperfect produce is a misfits market only contains produce. A misfits market contains produce, as well as other misfit items such as bread, eggs and other pantry items usually found on shelves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

      Organic Produce Delivery Nationwide<\/h2>\n\n\n

      \n

      <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      Organic produce delivery nationwide is also a huge consumer demand product at this time. Organic produce is fruits and vegetables grown using standards utilized by organic farmers. This type of produce prohibits the use of both fertilizers and pesticides in farming methods. Like imperfect produce, organic produce is also a popular produce shipping door to door method for consumers. Organic fruits and vegetables delivered to your home is a service that is growing leaps and bounds in today\u2019s consumer market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How Do I Follow the FMSA Act? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The Food Modernization Safety Act<\/a> makes sure that U.S. fresh produce is transported safely for consumers. The act is enforced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In short, the FMSA Act requires: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
      • Complete documentation compliance<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Carrier training by all produce shipping companies<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Produce kept at the proper refrigerated temperatures<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Clean trucks and trailers to prevent produce contamination<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Sweet onions from Georgia are a favorite vegetable for consumers. Learn more about how to ship during vidalia onion season<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
