Thousands upon thousands of salad leaves are taken to a central plant, washed together, bagged and shipped. Even if only a few leaves are tainted, harmful pathogens can spread in the wash water — the modern salad version of the old adage that one bad apple spoils the whole barrel.
"I would think of it as swimming in a swimming pool in Las Vegas with a thousand people I didn't know,"
While nobody wants to get sick and posibly die they don't say how many actualy ate tainted salad leaves, it could well be in the thousands and here is a point,how much more will you pay for your easy to use salad . Blue.
Well, my solution is to buy a head of lettuce and make the salad myself :)
You could grow your own. It's not that hard. Or you could buy from small local farmers. Too many people leave too many things up to others and complain about how it's done. Three things in this world get out of control when they are too big; business, religion, and government.
we go to the farmers market. I live in Los Angeles and it's too hot for me to grow lettuce.
Same goes for herbs, as I well know.
