I always rinse vegetables, salad mixes and fruit before eating, you never can tell where they've been!
Are you ready to toss the salad?
If the bag is completely sealed then I dont worry
Should be ok, but if imported from third world,the water used might be contaminated
Always wash fruits and vegetables before you eat them, even if they say that they are pre-washed.
Years ago I heard they were unsafe and so never buy them.
You can buy the same stuff and do it yourselves in less
than 30 minutes and wash to make sure it doesn't contain
harmful pesticides
yes i would wash them...its not the supermarkets that i dont trust its the factories that package these items b/c a workr that packs the salad could of went to the bathroom n not washed his hands....or mabye dirt got into the package somehow or mabye the salad wasnnt washed/cleaned properly....so i would clean it...you never know where that salad has been or what has touched it....keep clean...;-)
I get the salad in the bag. Already cut & every thing. No I dont wash it.
Good 4 U. Keep washing your veggies. And don't trust the supermarkets. It's the smart thing to do. You must be a smarty eh?
Don't buy them.They added substances to extend life for travel.
allways wash all salad and fruit before you put it anywhere near your mouth
WOULD ALL THOSE READY WASHED SALADS NOT BE WASHED BY MACHINERY.
if you cant buy salad to prepare your salad then definately wash the pre packed stuff. the chemicals in the salad are sometimes so strong that you can taste them and they probably out weigh the goodness you get from them anyway. always try to buy fresh.
I do wash mine, mainly because you really dont know where its been.

Always! But i rarely buy them. Would rather buy fresh; takes longer, but tastes better!
no i dont bother lifes to short
