Robin pointed me to this article in the Idaho Statesman,
New Idaho health regulations over cut greens cause confusion among some at Capital City Public Market. Here is a portion of the article. Click the link to see the full article.

Inspectors with the Central District Health Department assigned to carry out inspections at Capital City Public Market have been instructed to enforce a portion of the Idaho Food Code that mandates that the greens be stored at 41 degrees or below.

“Any cut, leafy green has to be treated as a potentially hazardous food,” said Central District Health Department’s Dave Fotsch.

The confusion stems from what “cut” means, as most leafy greens sold for food are cut from the main plant at harvest.

Some of the comments listed on by the Statesman are interesting. You should read them. As for me, I agree with one statement that states,

“… Ridiculous. Central District Health better get themselves to every grocery store in the state then since NO ONE stores cut greens at 41 degrees. Fred Meyer, Albertsons, Winco, you’re on notice.” (cblanch)

Is this another restrictive action against the small farmer to try to regulate them? So are the CSA gardens their next “victim”? Who knows and how sad.
