Generally: yes I generally Berries are safe to eat make sure you wash them well to void any pesticide excess exposure or to get rid of any bacteria from the people pick the berries

Salicylates: An insightful question, that taught me a bit. Yes berries do rate "high" in content for salicylic acid as do a lot of other spicy or tasty foods. Compared to an aspirin your consumption is miniscule, so enjoy most healthy foods as you are eating "for two" now.
