Safe Methods for Customers to Handle, Store and Enjoy Nuts

Did you know that nuts are not just delicious, they are good for you too? The USDA affirms the following: So you get the maximum nutrition and most of the health benefits, the nuts you purchase must be handled safely. First off we need to identify that bacteria is everywhere. Some bacteria is actually helpful to our health, and many have absolutely no impact on our health. Some, however, can cause severe illness and even death. Nuts are generally not a common source of harmful bacteria. We have seen in the news recently that there have been some outbreaks with regards to raw almonds, cereal, peanut butter, black pepper and sesame seeds. It’s important that refrigeration and freezing do not destroy bacteria. You cannot see, smell, taste or determine by texture if the product has harmful bacteria. It is important to follow good hygienic practices when you are shelling and eating nuts: The length of time you can store nuts is highly dependent on the storage temperature and humidity level you are storing the nuts. Storage life is considerably lower when you store at room temperature than if you utilized the refrigerator or freezer.
