Tasting Grapes Before Buying

[Orion Nebula]

Sometimes, raw fruits and vegetables contain harmful germs that can make you and your family sick, such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria. CDC estimates that germs on fresh produce cause a large percentage of U.S. foodborne illnesses. - CDC

You’d be surprised about how many people freak out about eating raw cookie dough...lol.

I’m a Gen Xer and I don’t ever eat raw cookie dough. I don’t want a tape worm!

I’m a Gen Xer and I don’t oils never eat raw cookie dough. I don’t want a tape worm!

You need to science yourself a little - that doesn’t come from raw eggs. And these days with modern production and inspection standards, even pork can be eaten on the pinker side.

Since the pandemic, we get our groceries from Walmart Grocery pickup, so we get what they give us. Before 2020, I never tasted produce, but the grocery stores in our town all allow returns w/receipt.

Today I had this thread in my head when I went to the store. I kept thinking of all the opinions.
I wish they had added the poll.

Are you in the wrong thread or have they merged the grape and egg threads together now too?

Nope...

I like my grapes, really washed, and nice and cold... I like to stick them in the freezer for a bit...

The thought of eating a grapes that someone else has handled... Yuck... plus with everything that we have just been through the last 18 months...
No Thanks

We were taught that taking something that does not belong to you is stealing... While I know most people think its just one grape, still you did not pay for that grape...

Frozen grapes are really good! My kids love them.

They had better NOT merge “my” egg thread with this lowly grape thread.
