In the 1990s I worked at McDonald's. We always let our lettuce soak in tubs of sanitizer. This has been a normal practice for decades.

Really? I worked at a McD's very briefly about 15 years ago and I don't remember doing anything like this.

Because smuggling illegals around Mexico and the US in the back of produce trucks has been the practice for ages.

Y'all ever wonder why all of the E-coli lettuce outbreaks? When you are locked in a trailer for hours ... and sometimes you forget to eliminate before you leave....

That's not how it happens. Most greens are no longer grown in soil (and are hence missing many minerals and nutrients) but are grown in HUGE hydroponic systems. The dirty foreign workers get a little poopy hand in the water and it can spread to everything...that is why lettuce recalls are always MASSIVE and not localized

That may well be but the scenario I laid out is how one of the breakouts in AZ and one in SoCal happened in the last 2-3 years.

Only because your immune system is weak compared to Mr brown poopy hands.

Yes I've always assumed this happened. Although its probably one of many reasons why our cancer rates have skyrocketed over the past 50 years.

How can people not know this? They have been DOUSING chicken with sanitizer at the factory for ages

Is he sure he's not just seeing the automatic misters that spray water on the produce every so often? It would be easy to imagine those being disinfectants or chemicals of some kind.

You should always be washing your produce. I used to work in a produce department back in the day, and people manhandle everything. The worst are the elderly, who come in barely having bathed in days. They have no sense of smell anymore, so they grasp everything tightly in their claws and press it up against their upper lip to sniff it. WASH EVERYTHING.

Organic Vegans are not going to like this.

I hear organic vegans are tastier than the regular ones.

You do know you're supposed to wash that stuff my subhuman enemy? If you want, skin them for further protection.

I install security messures at grocery stores late at night. They pay another company to spray everything before they open...

as usual the solution is worse than the problem

They could be using electro static or foggers to spray disinfectants. Its getting to be a required/normal practice here for hospitality and common areas. There are a couple that are "foodsafe". There are some that are not.
