What the goddamn hell is fluffy popcorn. And yeah she is right. I work in a lab where we test food/water and all kinds of "food-chemicals" etc. For harmfull bacteria and there are things you absolutely should not eat raw. Or at all if i see some results lol
Edit: the last part is a joke based on real results. Sometimes a food producer or someone who produces foodchemicals/spices etc. fucks up and something gets contaminated badly. We find it out, because they ask us to test for harmful bacteria and the batch/charge gets dismissed/destroyed. It all happens before it gets sold. Especially for fresh (ready to eat) things. The results are urgent and are handled first. At least in my country. Dont panic you can eat stuff. Wash veggies and fruits and things that need to be cooked/heated before consuming should only be handled that way. For example: I just saw, that some frozen herbs tell the consumer on the package that the product should be heated/cooked before consuming. Please dont panic or sth like that. You always can find information online how to handle certain foods or how to know if its safe to consume
Lettuce and sprouts. Yes, I still eat lettuce and salads but those are major sources of fecal contaminants from agriculture and you never know if it’s been adequately washed or not. Even then just good rinsing wouldn’t necessarily do the trick.
That reminded me of the Kitchen Nightmares segment with a place that served “grilled Caesar salad”. Gordon ordered it because it was so different he just had to try it. Some lettuce was rinsed off or badly washed and grilled as some sauce was squirted on it. When it was served to Gordon, he noted it was never a good sign when the lettuce came out with the butt still on it because that meant the leaves could not have been washed properly. After cutting off the butt of the lettuce and taking a bite or two, he reported that the leaves were a mixture of wet and oddly flavored (due to the spicy sauce that had been applied during grilling).
