<s>[INST] While at the grocery store, I noticed a large display of fresh produce that was still wrapped in its preservative coating. The produce itself looked completely fine to the consumer, but upon closer inspection, it would be noticed that it was actually spoiled beneath the surface. These items included lettuce, apples, fruits, and other pre-packaged greens.
The concern I have is that there was no clear warning or labeling indicating that this produce had some form of preservative on it. The packaging did, however, have mandated labeling for nutritional information, expiration, etc.
Here are my concerns:
1. Various health impacts - could these preservatives be harmful, especially if ingested in large amounts or frequency?[/INST]
