I'm not a vegan, but I do like my fruits and vegetables. With that said, when is it gonna be safe to eat lettuce or other recalled contaminated veggies again? (lemmy.world)

Every time they announce a recall, I rarely ever hear anything about when said foods are safe again.

Like, is this entire year's crop of lettuce, jalapeños, etc just ruined or what? 🤔

Edit for the true vegans: Yes, I like, even love a good vegan salad, more often than I tend to admit. But hell, when the veggies are causing weeks of diarrhea, what do?

by whole products not prerpocessed and wash it well. This is why indoor agriculture is a big deal as most contamination comes from feces runoff of animals.

Yep.

Tell that to McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, etc fast food places..

Yeah yeah, cook your own food, not everyone has the time for that depending on their job, some folks rely on fast food to make it from one job to the next..

Ask the fast food place where their lettuce came from, they either don't know, or they'll get fired for telling you...

its just advice not an order. people can do what they like. I stopped eating out at sitdown long back because of cost and a few years back even with fast food costs.

I get you, but there's only 24 hours in a day.

Not often, but sometimes I've had 3 jobs a day. So how do you manage the time between jobs while also filling your belly, then going home to feed the cats, shit, piss, bathe, and sleep?

And then the next morning try to figure out why your car won't start, smack it with a hammer, and miss the first 2 hours of the first job to go get and install a new starter?

TL;DR: Not everybody has the time (or even facilities sometimes) to prepare their own food, barely enough time to feed the 2 cats I had..

Edit: Sounds like this year it might be safer to eat catfood than salad...
