The solution is to simply wash your produce.
I'm not sure how the examination can be done at a later time than picking. Either you want to pick it or you don't. And different people have different standards.
The picker should just always choose the best available. Running low on selection is what naturally forces suboptimal picks.

It depends on what you want too.
For eating as a snack, I want small-to-medium sized apples. For cooking, I'd rather have a few giant ones so the peeling is easier.
You are examining 10 apples, well, so is everyone else. So all that fresh fruit has been held, bare handed, by the person who picked it, the person who loaded it and x number of customers who've examined it.
Not that ordering fruit online eliminates that problem but it seems like it would be a little more hygienic. One picker, one loader/examiner.
Maybe we need a better way to see germs so we know when we are done removing germs.
