Not being careful with spoiled produce

Cut away any sections of fruit or vegetables that look bruised, rotten or damaged. If your apple or tomato looks rotten throughout, throw it away. And if the spoiled food is stored with other fruits and veggies, check them thoroughly for signs of spoilage. The same applies for slimy lettuce leaves, bruised avocados and other fresh produce.
