39% of Bagged Salads Have Too Much Fecal Matter

Consumer Reports has just published an investigation revealing that 39% of the packaged salads tested contained "bacteria that are common indicators of poor sanitation and fecal contamination." And this despite the fact that such bagged salads often display claims of 'prewashed' or 'triple-washed' and attract customers who consider them cleaner and safer.

The reason for the test was that currently, while there are federal limits on the amount of "indicator" bacteria that can be legally found in water, milk, raw meats, and processed foods, there's no such standard for produce. And so, CR set out to discover whether there was sh!t in your salad (or at least, bacteria that commonly, though not necessarily, forms in feces). Here's what they found:

Several industry experts we consulted suggested that for leafy greens, an unacceptable level of total coliforms or enterococcus is 10,000 or more colony forming units per gram (CFU/g) or a comparable estimate. In our tests, 39 percent of samples exceeded that level for total coliforms and 23 percent for enterococcus.

The elephant in the room here is that this is caused by Mexican farm workers dropping their pants and just taking a shit wherever they are while picking lettuce. Where do people honestly think all this fecal bacteria comes from?

No, it clearly isn't. Sounds like a story for the national enquirer. Do you know what manure is, anon?

I know you can't read, but I was saying that Mexicans shitting in the produce is obviously fake. Not the produce having fecal matter. Life must be really hard for you

i already try not to ever get bagged salads. It not that hard to put a salad together and even use bottled dressing if you are extra lazy.

I dont trust their washing, bagged salads wilt much much quicker, sometimes the ends are already turning brown and mushy, its just inferior.

Yeah, but at least our meat does too. And it's fixing to get worse since trump is now going to allow the meat processors to inspect themselves. Read "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair if you want to see the results of that kind of buffonery, lol!

>The lawsuit and petition quote a federal inspector who said, “We often see birds going down the line with intestines still attached, which are full of fecal contamination. If there is no fecal contamination on the bird’s skin, however, we can do nothing to stop that bird from going down that line. It is more than reasonable to assume that once the bird gets into the chill tank (a large vat of cold water), that contamination will enter the water and contaminate all of the other carcasses in the chiller. That’s why it is sometimes called ‘fecal soup.’”

Nope. They won't be paying attention to that little blip on the radar just like the current egregious assault on the environment. They'll be paying attention to which chicken sandwich won the chicken sandwich "war" or the latest paranoid twitter rant.
