Flavor, Quality & StorageHow should a buyer handle a carton containing mangoes with stem-end decay?
Set the affected carton aside for a condition check rather than mixing it into stock intended for extended holding. Record the number affected, inspect representative interiors, and preserve the lot label for supplier follow-up. Check other cartons from that delivery before assuming the problem is isolated. Actively decayed fruit should be excluded from sale and preparation; the condition of remaining sound fruit requires its own assessment.
