Local grocers protect customers from food illnesses
GRAND RAPIDS TOWNSHIP -- In the cold room at Forest Hills Foods, workers prepare fruit trays, ever mindful of customer concerns over the recent outbreak of food-borne problems such as E. coli and salmonella.
Everything the produce comes into contact with in the room is sterilized.
"It's cold during the preparation process. And it's cold when it gets on our shelves. So the product never has a chance for any bacteria growth," said produce manager Chris Gould.
