Fresh Talk Poll #3

The second Fresh Talk poll is in the can, and it showed about three quarters of those voting favored a merger between United Fresh Produce Association and Produce Marketing Association. I'm sure the result of this very limited poll won't send the associations scurrying into emergency session, but the numbers in support of a merger were higher than I would have thought.

Look for all the details of the first two Fresh Talk polls here.

The poll this week, #3, was the brainchild of Luis, a member of the Fresh Produce Industry Discussion Group. It tries to measure your perception of restaurant operator confidence in produce after last year's foodborne illness outbreak linked to spinach. Happy voting.

Also, I wanted to acknowledge Becca for sending me an online food section ad for Krogers and one from Brookshire's in Louisiana. How common are online food ads where you live? If you have links to online supermarket food ads, send me the links.
