Natural Product Variability Policy

Purpose

This policy explains the natural variation that occurs in fresh fruit regarding appearance, size, color, and ripeness.

Policy Statement

Fresh fruit is a natural agricultural product, and each fruit is unique. Unlike manufactured goods, natural fruits will vary in appearance and characteristics.

These variations are a normal part of farm-grown produce.

Expected Variations

Customers may notice differences in:

• Size
• Shape
• Color
• Skin markings or blemishes
• Ripeness level at arrival

These characteristics do not affect the quality or flavor of the fruit.

Ripening Differences

Fruit may arrive at different stages of ripeness depending on:

• Harvest timing
• Transit time
• Temperature during shipping

Some fruits are intentionally harvested slightly firm so they can finish ripening safely after arrival.

Cosmetic Imperfections

Natural fruits may contain minor cosmetic blemishes such as:

• Skin scarring
• Color variations
• Natural spotting

These are common in farm-grown fruit and do not impact the edibility or flavor of the product.

Quality Commitment

Our team inspects all fruit before shipment to ensure it meets our internal quality standards. We do not ship fruit that we believe is unsuitable for consumption.
