We received a fruit/veg order yesterday and until it arrived I was fine...normally we had fruit/veg within our supermarket deliveries and I simply dropped it out of the packaging into the bowl and we washed under the tap before we ate...no problem, my theory was that it was safe inside the packing for a day or two before reaching us. However, the box that arrived yesterday was freshly picked and all rattling around together..no packaging ...apples next to carrots, next to potatoes, next to onions etc and suddenly I was unsure as to how safe it was. The advice given to my husband when he underwent chemo was not to eat anything freshly handled unless cooked, i.e. tomatoes, and to eat only pre-packaged bread and not the bread that was free of packaging, I’m assuming this was because of contamination-v-low immunity and so that is what happened yesterday, no sooner than the box arrived, than some of the apples & plums were made into a pie and I have to say it was delicious, I’ll continue to work my way through the box cooking everything, I absolutely know this is not necessary given the information I’ve read but I couldn’t help myself!
