A member asked:
My adult son doesn't wash produce (organic or not) before eating it. he thinks it's unnecessary.is this safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Some produce is washed during the sorting process several times before it gets to the store shelf.If so it is less worrisome than those bought directly from the field.Yet this can not be assumed and such habits have resulted in e.Coli or parasite outbreaks in a number of instances. If your son is in the "invulnerable" stage it may take a "learning" experience with such a germ for a change can occu.
