General Produce
Lettuce, Bibb/Butter
12- and 24-count cartons.
Heads should appear fresh with even-colored leaves that exhibit a soft, buttery texture. Avoid lettuce that appears wilted or shows signs of discoloration or decay, dark butt-ends, yellow-tipped leaves, or leaves showing cracked ribs.
Short-term storage recommendation (7 days or less)
- 32-36° F/0-2° C
- 90-98% relative humidity
Bibb lettuce is sensitive to ethylene gas; exposure to the gas may cause russet (brown) spotting of the leaves or loss of green color. Store away from ethylene-producing fruits and ripening rooms.
Wilting may occur if lettuce is stored in an area with low humidity. Store properly.
Yellow leaves can indicate freeze damage.
- Toss lettuce with pepper radishes, snipped chives, crumbled bacon, and creamy house-made Ranch dressing.
- Fill lettuce cups with mixture of chopped chicken, minced red onions, cilantro, lime juice, and crushed peanuts.
