In fact, it can also happen due to unhygienic food preparation practices. That’s why it’s best to stay away from fresh salads when you’re eating out, especially when it’s a new restaurant for you. However, between the two (veggies and leafy greens), leafy greens are most likely to make you end up in the ER.
Because they are often consumed raw, doctors tend to report more cases of food poisoning from leafy greens than from veggies. To be more precise, more than 85 percent of the food poisoning outbreaks in our country were caused by leafy greens such as lettuce, cabbage, spinach, and kale.
Before consuming leafy greens, wash them properly, and please avoid eating salads from catering facilities and restaurants.
