CONSUMER REPORTS: WTF!! There’s POOP in Pre-Packaged Salads!!

If you thought that last bagged salad you had tasted like shit, you might be on to something!

Consumer Reports studied a few of the conveniently packaged veggies and this is what they found:

[I]n our samples, all of which were within their use-by date, we did find bacteria that are common indicators of poor sanitation and fecal contamination—in some cases, at rather high levels.

WTH?!  Are those farmers wiping their asses with spinach?!

Not all is lost, though... here are some tips the article gives:

• Buy packages as far from their use-by date as you can find.
• Even if the bag says "prewashed" or "triple-washed," wash the greens yourself. Rinsing won't remove all bacteria but may remove residual soil.
• Prevent cross contamination by keeping greens away from raw meat.
