Or maybe you could just wash your lettuce like you are supposed to.
The people who work in the lettuce fields and strawberry fields and other agricultural crops tend to just pee wherever they are. If there are Porta potties, there is no good way to disinfect hands before going back to work. Plants are grown in dirt, not sterile labratories. Food should be washed before you eat it.

Thank you for the voice of common sense I never did get the hysteria about how awful it is to eat something off the ground, etc, food is grown in dirt & manure.
All the tax money we pump into Agro through subsidies and this?????
The subsidies are for crops like soybeans, corn and rice besides which the subsidies have nothing to do with growing/hygiene practices. That falls on the FDA which thanks to continuing funding cuts has very few inspectors or oversight of potentially hazardous conditions of corporate agricultural growers. Yet another example of where buying local at farmers markets or at least from somewhat regional sources is most beneficial versus at the cheapest price.

Won't work in this case Oregon. I heard the CDC say yesterday that E. coli 0157 can actually get inside the cells of the lettuce. No amount of washing can remove this bad boy.
I stopped eating romaine years ago. Eating green leaf lettuce since - more nutrition
Also like cabbage mixes, so I don't worry...
...at least, until those products have their turn with contamination.
