Safer And Healthier Produce

Nowadays, supermarket items are vastly different from what was accessible in the past, mostly local food and products! Moreover, many people purchased their vegetables at a specialized produce stand in their neighborhood. Shoppers used to have to travel to a variety of smaller establishments to buy various types of food before supermarkets were established. You’d find “greengrocers” (for vegetables), dairy stores (for milk), butcher shops (for meat and fish), and grocers (for canned food) along the street.

It didn’t improve matters that low-cost milk became available in supermarkets. Since the 1970s, milk has become more ubiquitous on supermarket shelves, although it was formerly uncommon.
