Fresh produce is graded by certain benchmarks for size, weight, and appearance, along with flavor and ripeness. Many look to No.1 or Fancy grade product, which is a premium product.
But, food waste is an ongoing problem, and according to the USDA it is estimated at between 30-40% of the food supply. Our Unusual But Usable program shines a spotlight on food waste. When we talk about UBU quality, we are referring to outward appearances only. It will only be misshapen, scarred, or blemished in some way, but not decayed. This is fully usable product for dicing, blending, juicing, or processing.
Chances are you are not using peppers, carrots, or tomatoes whole, so it makes sense to take advantage of our UBU program items to reduce your food cost.
UBU brings you value, while keeping quality and food safety a priority. Each FreshPoint location will have different UBU items available depending on the season and location. If you are taking a look at your food cost, consider asking your representative what UBU items are available to you.
