I only found this out from the chlorinated chicken thread. Most mixed salad bags are rinsed in a chlorine wash to kill off harmful bacteria like salmonella and the the plastic bags are filled with a modified gas to preserve shelf life. Some nutrients are stripped during this 'MAP' process. Scientists believe that this is OK because it's safe and vegetable rearing standards are not an issue. In meat production rearing standards are an issue.
I always buy whole lettuce. I wonder if that is clorinated.
Frankenstein food is here folks. |

All of our food is modified in some way.
The "healthy" veg you think your eating really isn't.
Unless you can be arsed to do all the research and have the money to buy organic and space to grow your own veg then we have to accept it 
In most cases you get what you pay for. |
