Excerpt:
"OCA Comment: Lettuce cannot be irradiated.
Lettuce Takes Up E. Coli, Defeating Normal Cleaning
Lettuce that has been fertilized with manure or irrigated with water
contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 can take the bacteria up through its root
system and internalize it inside its leaves, resisting traditional external
sanitizing methods.
Researchers from Rutgers University report these findings in the January
2002
issue of the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology."
