Thank goodness I don't have to worry about it. I am terrified of fruit.

You have to seriously wonder if anything you put in your mouth today won't be on a recall list tomorrow...

Amen to that. Only way to be sure if it isn't is to grow it yourself.

And even that isn't foolproof ---growing it yourself! According to at least one of the articles I read it could be 'dangerous' too if birds fly over and poop on it or dogs/other animals (cows for one) get to it. It is a less % chance but still possible----In other words all of it needs to be 'cleaned' good to be safe. What is that 'stuff' you cab buy to spray it with to get rid of the bacteria/germs, etc?
