What is the minimum time to submerge lettuce in Victory Wash?

The minimum time to submerge lettuce in Victory Wash is 90 seconds. This duration is essential to effectively remove contaminants, pesticides, and bacteria from the surface of the lettuce. Victory Wash is a specific solution designed for cleaning produce, and the 90 seconds allows sufficient contact time for the solution to act on the surfaces of the leaves, ensuring a thorough wash.

While brief washing may not be effective in removing all residues, the 90-second standard ensures that the lettuce is adequately sanitized, improving food safety. A longer duration could also increase exposure to the wash solution, which is designed to lift away unwanted particles and pathogens, but 90 seconds strikes a balance between effectiveness and the practicality of washing in a food preparation environment.
