Wegmans Keeps Shoppers Updated

The recent Salmonella outbreak still has grocery shoppers concerned about their produce, but one local supermarket is taking steps to reassure their shoppers. The Dewitt Wegmans has put up signs in their produce department to update shoppers about the recent Salmonella outbreak. Each sign informs customers to avoid buying raw produce that is not from FDA approved production areas. Wegmans guarantees that their fresh produce is grown in FDA approved production areas, limiting the risk of spreading the bacterial infection further.

The signs are located above tomato and pepper stands. Shoppers have noticed the new signs and appreciate the extra information.

"Its good to know all of the produce, all of the tomatoes, are coming from an approved, safe location," said shopper John Greco.

Greco also said that posting the signs was a good move on Wegmans' part because customers feel as though Wegmans is watching out for them. "Its a very good business practice, letting people know what's going on and how they're trying to help the situation."

The signs are posted in all Wegmans Produce Departments. The signs inform customers about high risk populations, ways to protect against the spread of Salmonella, and assures shoppers their produce is from FDA approved distribution areas.
