Bagged salad...what next?!

[Crackers]

So...I've just read online that bagged salad needs to be washed before you eat it, even if it says "washed and ready to eat". Argh...I've been eating Florette bagged salad for the past 8 weeks!

Hubby says not to worry, and we'll wash it from now on. But there's SO much to remember re food and stuff...surely some pre-washed salad isn't going to hurt?

Did everyone else know this already? Should I brush up on my reading?! Ha ha!

Lol this one is new to me! It's so hard, especially when you want to eat out etc, you never know what's in your food or how it's been prepared! xx

Sweetie I have been eating it too! I ate it with my lo and she's fine! I do think these rules go a bit ott! Be sensible, stuff which is liable to making u bad, avoid! Xx

I have also ate it and am fine! I think you just need to be sensible...the chance of anything like salad have a nasty efect must be tiny

I think it depends where it was packaged. If abroad then yeah you should wash it cos of local bacteria we aren't immune to. It's a nightmare keeping a check on everything xxxxxxxxxx

That makes sense actually Babybrain, although if I've been eating the same stuff for years now then surely anything that bad I'd be immune to anyway?

I'm not going to worry myself too much over all the food dos and donts. Years ago our mums and nans were told to eat liver and drink guinness - 2 things we are told to most definitely avoid nowadays!

Talking of food...I'm hungry yet again...
