[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I buy the premade romaine mix from Wegmans weekly and d[b]o not wash it at all.[/b] I have never had any problems. That being said, I use a ton of vinegar on my salads, so perhaps it's just enough to kill anything before I get sick. [/quote]

You should always wash your lettuce. There are videos of lettuce being dug up from the earth and bagged right in the field.  https://www.reddit.com/r/Cooking/comments/nak2mu/no_matter_what_the_pack_says_wash_the_veggies/[/quote]
[b]Triple washed, torn salad mixes are not being prepared and packaged in the fields. You must be talking about lettuce that’s still intact. That needs to be rinsed thoroughly.[/quote][/b]

You are always supposed to rinse the bagged lettuce.  https://www.today.com/health/recall/wegmans-recall-kale-microgreens-salmonella-rcna63593[/quote]
[b]Respectfully, you cannot wash off salmonella, and if you think that, your food safety knowledge is putting your family at risk. [/quote][/b]

the point is -- you don't trust the "triple washed" ad!  THis also happened on Oct. 23.  https://www.pennlive.com/food/2023/10/salad-kits-recalled-from-wegmans-because-of-allergy-risk.html.  If wegmans can't manage testing for salmonella in its "triple washed" bag, imagine what ELSE is wrong with it. Why would you ever trust such a claim? Of course we wash it.  takes seconds.[/quote]
Is that the point? The point of the article was that lettuce can be contaminated with salmonella. Washing it doesnt help that. You could wash this lettuce 230000 times and still get salmonella poisoning. Focus on things you *can* help.[/quote]
