Experts do not recommend buying lettuce and other greens packed in plastic bags. Such conditions are ideal for the reproduction of intestinal bacteria.. Better to buy vegetables without artificial packaging, scientists say.

You should be especially careful when buying leafy vegetables with damage to the leaves.. This factor is the main one for the reproduction of Salmonella enterica..

Bacteria easily combine with plant sap and form biological films, which are very difficult to remove with water..

Lettuce that has been refrigerated for 5 days in a plastic bag contains at least 100,000 Salmonella enterica bacteria, according to a laboratory study..

Salmonella inevitably get on the leaves in the process of growing vegetables in the open field. Being in a bag, pathogenic bacteria actively multiply using an artificially created greenhouse effect..
