can legally sell. "ham, fish etc etc" in particular usually have strict
rules in order to prevent food borne diseases.
In New York State, at least (I don't know if it's federal or by-state), you need a processing license to sell "ready-to-eat" salads even if they're just greens. (This would make more sense if some of the recent food poisoning problems in ready-to-eat greens hadn't been in greens that were packed in legally licensed processing facilities. But I don't think Ag&Markets is listening to that argument.)
If you're selling fruit, vegetables including salad greens, etc., you're not supposed to tell anybody that they're ready to eat without washing (unless you do have a processors license and have washed and packed them in a certified kitchen): the assumption is that people will wash them when they get them home, before eating.
Of course, there's no way in practice to stop people eating strawberries, etc., unwashed, before they even get out of the market : )
