If there are humans picking the crops, and if their hygiene is lax, then there might be some contamination via a human vector.
- bluGill 2y ago"I know a guy" who went to tour a lettuce farm at harvest. He had to wear special booties, gloves, and a hair net. The farmers proudly showed how the lettuce was picked and immediately (no wash step!) wrapped in plastic so that no contamination could happen. Then he looked up and say birds flying overhead and as bird do pooping in mid flight. Wash your lettuce.
