Using a strict quality inspection process at Tropicana Banana farms and ripening rooms to select the very best bananas from our premium crops, we guarantee that only the highest quality bananas are sent to our retailers.
Each Tropicana Banana carton contains 70-80 bananas. Every banana is carefully screened for minor defects (such as marks from speckling, sap stains and knife cuts) and major defects (such as neck injury or sunburn) and these are noted on our quality inspection sheet. To meet our quality standards, major defects must be under 4% (3 bananas or less per carton) and minor defects under 10% (less than 7 bananas or less per carton).
That means for every carton we pack, at least 86% of the bananas will be guaranteed perfect and unmarked.
