Testing of salad in the United Kingdom has found the majority of products were safe to eat but the potential for contamination exists.
Analysis of 2,495 samples was carried out from April 2023 to March 2024 in England and Northern Ireland. Samples of ready-to-eat (RTE) salads and components, such as cucumber, tomato and beetroot, were collected from retailers, caterers and manufacturers by local authorities.
