I see you have decided to store and present your produce in cardboard boxes placed on the floor where dust, dirt and bugs will find easy access. It does not make the produce at all more appealing - in fact - it looks like you've had a flood and you're trying to make the best of a very bad situation. Cardboard boxes are in the basement or at the curb for recycle - never for storing food. Ever!<br /> <br /> MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY SAYS:<br /> <br /> &quot;The phrase &quot;reduce, reuse and recycle&quot; can be a great way to save money and to be more sustainable, but it may not be a great way to store food. Storing food in the wrong container can contaminate food and cause a foodborne illness. Michigan State University Extension recommends that only food-grade containers are used to store food. <br /> <br /> Cardboard boxes that have contained raw food may absorb moisture, allowing bacteria to grow, and possibly contaminate other food. Cardboard cannot be cleaned and sanitized. Waxed corrugated fiberboard, used to ship produce, is able to resist moisture, but not completely, which potentially allows microorganisms to grow.&quot;<br /> <br /> If you go to a market - Eastern Market in Detroit - nobody displays their produce in cardboard boxes.<br /> <br /> You do know that dark slightly damp (damp from vegetables stored in boxes) cardboard boxes are the perfect breeding place for palmetto roaches who can so easily scuttle from the floor up a box and hide beneath the potatoes.<br /> <br /> Whoever had such a lambrian idea needs to be stored in a cardboard box.<br /> <br /> I have been shopping at Trader Joes for 20 years. But, believe me, I will avoid the produce henceforth.
