Employees of the Rosselkhoznadzor recommend that Russian consumers pay special attention to the choice of vegetables that are currently sold on various trading floors of the country, in particular, on the markets.

First of all, attention should be paid not at all to the appearance of fruits and vegetables on the shelves, but to the appearance of the seller. The seller of vegetables should look neat and strictly adhere to the rules of hygiene in the workplace. The buyer has the right to provide him with a health record of the seller for review.

It is best to buy vegetables and fruits in those places that are specifically designed for the sale of such goods. It is important to understand that the outlet should look clean, tidy and in accordance with sanitary standards.

As for the products themselves, vegetables and fruits should be clean, undamaged, without signs of rotting or deterioration. The high quality product has a pleasant and natural smell.

Products must be neatly laid out on the counter, and the seller must ensure the storage of goods for the period of sale in accordance with sanitary and hygiene requirements.

Having made the purchase of fruits and vegetables, one should not forget to observe the rules of hygiene at home: the goods should be thoroughly washed and, if necessary, subjected to heat treatment.
