That’s what really sucks about bagged citrus. One goes bad and (usually) there’s nothing you can really do with the rest. Luckily, my store also sells em loose for this very reason.

Take a bad one out, fill with one good one and twist tie the net bag back. Works great if you're crafty

We open them, wash em, and give them to the kids.

Same. It goes in the little basket of apples and bananas for the kids.

We peel them, pack them and sell them at 6.99/lb with the other cut fruit. When labor allows of course.

If there are many bags that have bad ones, we’ll re-bag them into small gusset bags and sell for half price or less
