Storage Handling:
Short-term storage recommendation (7 days or less)
- 41-42° F/5-6° C

Maintain adequate air ventilation during storage. Keep cartons off the floor to help prevent dampening of boxes from condensation of moisture in the room. Store citrus away from foods with strong odors and ethylene-producing fruits.

Pitted peel, discolored flesh, and mold are indications of improper storage temperature.
