[QUOTE="simme, post: 1695500, member: 40418"] Food contamination at the retail level is a concern, especially if you can see it. But think about the opportunities during production, harvesting, storage and transportation. Vegetables are grown in the field where they are urinated on and pooped on by various animals including birds. Root crops can be chewed on by rats and other animals. People harvesting the vegetables may not have the best hygiene in the field. Wheat and other grains are harvested by combines. Although the combine may be "cleaned" to some extent, those augers, elevators, hoppers and separators are pretty nice homes for mice between harvests. Trucks that move the grain, trains, storage silos - they probably don't get cleaned that well. At least it is organic. Not going to change much. [/QUOTE]
