Chop, Wash & Bag

Every morning the supermarkets send their orders to us at head office, so that we can tell the factories how much lettuce they need.

The 3 stages in making a bag of salad are:

1. Chopping the lettuce either by hand or machine to the correct size
2. Washing the lettuce to remove mud and dirt and any other junk
3. Weighing out the right about of leaf mix for each bag and sealing the filled salad bags

Finally, the bags of salad are placed into crates or cardboard boxes and stacked onto pallets in the warehouse ready for the supermarket lorries to come and pick them up.
