"This past week, Dole recalled 2,800 cases of their Italian blend salads due to a single positive listeria test. That recall--among many others--can help protect you from food poisoning. In fact, there were no reported illnesses from this recall and you can be confident knowing that nearly all packaged salads are safe to consume. So keep eating salad! After all, summer&amp;#039;s the best time to enjoy a bed of crisp greens with lots of delicious bits. (Check out our favorite summer salads!) Here are 3 ways to get safer salads on the table:  1. One new option is the Fresh Express line of FreshRinse salads. Their principal scientist, Dr. Kai-Lai Grace Ho, came up with a new non-chlorine wash that reduces the risk of E. coli, salmonella, and listeria monocytogenes, among other harmful bacteria. 2. As with all pre-packaged, triple-washed salads, don&amp;#039;t wash it again at home. Our Nutrition Director, Samantha Cassetty, explains why in this interesting blog post. 3. Dedicate a cutting board to chopping and slicing raw veggies. Sure, you can vigorously scrub and sanitize with bleach the same cutting board you cut raw chicken on, but why risk it? Better to have a cutting board exclusively for salads. (I color code mine.) Check our cutting board recommendations from our Kitchen Appliances department.
