Do You Need To Wash Packaged Salad Greens E Coli

[BrilloPad]

Q. Should I eat rocket or mixed salad served in a restaurant?

A. The guidance from the FSA states that it should be safe to eat if washed properly. If you're worried ask your waiter for your salad to make sure your salad is well washed.

If you ask a waiter they might be offended and wash the salad in p1ss.

Safer to eat in McDs - unless they decide to bleed on the burger and cover it up with ketchup.

I always wash salad leaves under running water.

More to get rid of dirt and creepy crawlies than anything.

I can't imagine that washing in cold water would be effective against e coli somehow.

Bleach? That might work.

I was quite lax about washing lettuce until I found a grub in one a couple of weeks ago. Surely if you buy food from a supermarket you should have a reasonable expectation of it being clean?

Most dangerous thing is Brussel spouts apparently:

Raw sprouts are probably the riskiest food in the world

There is a definite correlation between tendencies of food to cause poisoning and to cause farting.

Guess the Brexiters eat quite a lot of them then!

Funny how the farts come out in the form of posts here

Those are bean sprouts rather than the Brussels kind.

Ever tried them instead of Fava beans, old lad?

I once had a green caterpillar in with a packet of green beans. It was the same colour and diameter as the beans. Could have easily slung it in to boil.
