[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1390725, member: 9267"] How many food scares have there been recently where vegetables or fruit have made people sick or been found contaminated with e. coli? From what I've seen, it's always blamed on some immigrant labour unit that didn't wash their hands after toileting and contaminated the produce. Something that can't realistically be prevented - the farmer can provide proper facilities, but will 100% of the workers use them plus sanitiser 100% of the time? But overlooks all the hundreds of other ways a piece of fruit can be contaminated before it reaches a table. I used to work in a fruit shop as a kid. It is indescribable how filthy my hands got handling fruit - some of it because of the natural yeast blooms, some of it because of the proximity to other fruit that had rotted. Mostly I just didn't have a clue where all this filth came from. And then you simply can't control the shoppers who pick up an apple, examine it and replace it on the shelf... wash everything before eating, if that worries you. [/QUOTE]
