Wash at home no problem.

If they wash it in take outs and let is rest for hours then it's a breeding ground.

Better not washed in my opinion

I'm suspicious of the prepacked cut salad bags and the potential for lack of cleanliness, with bugs breeding.

It's easy to grow a lot of leafy salad greens and at least you can cut fresh and clean. I don't know how easy it is to pick up this virus from growing salads but I'm assuming that poor hygiene in harvest and packing is a bigger risk.

Once again our resident scaremongerer is only giving you half a story!

No change in the advice given by the FSA....it's more aimed at the food establishments and their food safety practices.

Take away is accountable for 26% of reported cases.

It is open head lettuces, so the iceberg on your kebab is ok

I'm confused. Has lettuce been linked to Norovirus or food poisoning?

I mean either way, I'm not going to avoid it or change my practices, I'm just curious.

I am not sure but I would think if you tried it in tempura batter it would be hot enough. I think the crispy fried sea from my local takeaway is actually cabbage but not sure

I think it's salad in general. It's on the BBC website I think. It's more about takeaways and eating out
